THESE PRODUCTS were manufactured right here in the Ohio Valley by the Wheeling Pittsburgh Steel Corporation. In May of 1869, Mingo Junction, the Ohio Steel industry was born.

The steel industry has changed hands many times and is striving to keep their heads above water these days. Photo courtesy of Pictorial Past
