Dunbar: Kanawha Valley Industrial Neighbor
Dunbar sits along the Kanawha River in Kanawha County, between South Charleston and Institute. The city was incorporated in 1921 and grew with the chemical and glass industries of the Kanawha Valley. Shawnee Park, on a peninsula in the river, contains the Dunbar Wave Pool and hosts regional events. The Dunbar Toll Bridge across the Kanawha to Saint Albans was replaced in the 1960s by the free Nitro-St. Albans Memorial Bridge, which still carries Route 25 over the river.
The city has seen population decline along with the broader contraction of Kanawha Valley chemical manufacturing. Dunbar Intermediate School and Dunbar Middle School anchor the local education system. Much of the current employment in the area is tied to the broader Charleston-area retail, medical, and government sectors rather than local industry.
