In 1731 Morgan Morgan established the first permanent white settlement on Mill Creek
in present-day Berkeley County. Coal, a mineral asset that would figure significantly
in West Virginia's history, was discovered in 1742. Other important natural resources
are oil, natural gas, and hardwood forests, which cover about 75% of the state's
area.
