- Description:
- Mannington is famous for its oil and gas boom in 1889. Dr. Israel C. White, a well known geologist, gathered enough support to begin drilling. In late 1889, real estate prices rose 100% in two days. Mannington would soon become one of the largest oil fields in the state of West Virginia. Dr. White also pushed for natural gas exploration in this area which was the main reason behind Mannington's period of growth. After the 1929 stock market crash, people began leaving town as demand was severely down.
