BLUEFIELD WEST VIRGINIA BOTTLING COMPANIES

Thanks to the Pocahontas Coal Boom of the late 1800's and early 1900's, Bluefield, WV was once one of the most prosperous cities in the Appalachian Coal Fields. Unfortunately this wasn't to last, the coal boom ended leaving Bluefield as it is today, a shell of its former glory. There is much history in this area; however, much of it is rotting leaving only fading memories in its wake.
