Huntington is a major U.S. river port and the largest Metropolitan Area in West Virginia. The city is located in Cabell and Wayne counties at the confluence of the Guyandotte River and the Ohio River. The first permanent settlement, Holderby's Landing, was founded in 1775 in what was then the Colony of Virginia. The City of Huntington was founded by Collis P. Huntington and Delos W. Emmons as the western terminus of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway in 1871. The 2006 Warner Bros. motion picture "We Are Marshall" and the 2010 ABC series "Food Revolution" were filmed on location in Huntington.
