Guyandotte (Images of America)

Guyandotte (Images of America)

Located at the confluence of the Ohio and Guyandotte Rivers, Guyandotteâ€™s first industries were logging and steamboat travel. In 1911, after the Civil Warâ€™s Battle of Guyandotte resulted in most of the town being burned, Guyandotteâ€™s residents officially voted to become a part of the newer and larger city of Huntington. Today, Guyandotte is a historic neighborhood with several antebellum homes and landmarks that still stand proudly. Despite floods that ravaged the area in 1907, 1913, and 1937, the community hosts two major industriesâ€•Special Metals Corporation, maker of nickel alloys, and Grief Brothers Corporation, a producer of shipping containers. Along with images of the Guyandotte United Methodist Church congregation and the ever-popular Mooreâ€™s Hardware, which dates from 1947, Guyandotte shares stories of the people and places that have shaped this historic Huntington neighborhood.
