West Virginia is a land of abundant natural resources. Many of the resources needed in other parts of the United States and the world can be found here. West Virginia has been a major producer of salt, lumber, oil, coal, and natural gas, and as the times and demands have changed, it still continues to provide the nation with its many resources.
