Morgantown, University city in West Virginia, United States
Morgantown stretches along the Monongahela River, surrounded by hills with neighborhoods rising over 1,200 feet in elevation at Dorsey Knob Park.
Zackquill Morgan established Fort Morgan in 1772, leading to the incorporation of Morgantown as a Virginia settlement before joining West Virginia in 1863.
The Metropolitan Theatre, opened in 1924, presents performances throughout the year while West Virginia University contributes to the educational environment of the city.
