Fairmont
About 18,000 people.
Fairmont sits on the Monongahela River in the north-central part of the state and has a proud coal-mining and inventing history. It is even known as the birthplace of the pepperoni roll.
Try a warm pepperoni roll, cross the historic High Level Bridge, and explore the trails and gardens at Prickett's Fort State Park with its old log fort.
