Hinton's story starts with land and the railroad. According to the West Virginia Encyclopedia, the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway bought land here in 1871. Hinton was built on that land. The seller was the son of Isaac Ballengee, the first settler of European descent. Ballengee had received a Virginia land grant for 210 acres in 1777. As you read that early history, look for Ballengee Street on the print. It's one of the street names you can pick out among the red buildings.
