Martinsburg

Martinsburg is best known in West Virginia for its historic Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Roundhouse complex. Set in the Eastern Panhandle’s Shenandoah Valley, the city developed as a railroad centre on a vital route between the Ohio Valley and the Atlantic seaboard. The B&O facilities became a focal point of the 1877 railroad strike, an event that helped ignite the Great Railroad Strike across the United States. Downtown Martinsburg preserves a compact civic core around the Berkeley County Courthouse, while the wider valley leads toward the Potomac River.
