Thurmond, a small community in the northern portion of the New River Gorge National River, has a significant history as one of the key railroad centers for transporting coal, freight, and passengers from the region on the Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) Railroad during the late 19th and 20th centuries. Although the town has declined in recent decades, it retains much of its historic character and reflects the period of its prominence.
