South Charleston Industrial Park
The South Charleston Industrial Park, formerly known as the Naval Ordnance Plant, is a historically significant facility established in 1917 along the Kanawha River in South Charleston, West Virginia. Originally constructed for naval ordnance production during World War I, the site played a crucial role in the U.S. military's efforts during World War II and has since evolved to accommodate various shipping and manufacturing companies.
At its peak, the plant employed around 11,000 workers and manufactured over 130,000 gun barrels, in addition to armored personnel carriers and other military equipment. Today, the industrial park continues to thrive, with modern businesses utilizing the rich legacy of the facility's extensive production capabilities.
