Glasgow: A Glowing Bedroom Community
Glasgow, West Virginia sits along the banks of the River Kanawha in the county of the same name – Kanawha. With the presence of Scottish immigrants and a glass factory in the past, the town’s name came about. It shares a similar name as that of a city in Scotland. The population of the community falls short to a thousand. Huntington Tri-State Airport (HTS) is an hour and a half away from Glasgow.
