In 1892 several businessmen wanted an industrial town to compliment the railroad hub and residential town of Huntington. They envisioned the town of Central City. Almost 100 years later, a group of interested people wanted to preserve Old Central City and the "antique capital of West Virginia" was born. Today, the district boasts 15 antique stores in a 3 block area. Once a year, "Old Central City Days" is held to celebrate the history and unique shopping available in Huntington's oldest business district.
