Montgomery, WV

 

Nestled along the banks of the Kanawha River, Montgomery is unique in that it is located within both Fayette and Kanawha Counties. With a population of approximately 2000, Montgomery is rich in history and diversity.   We are located approximately 27 miles southeast of Charleston, home of our state capitol. 

 

Montgomery is the home of West Virginia University Institute of Technology and Technical College.  Also located in Montgomery are two major banks, Montgomery General Hospital, Brown's Chevrolet and many other local businesses.
 

 

 

WVU Tech has had a long and rich tradition in the Kanawha Valley and has been here longer than the State Capitol. WVU Tech was founded at the sub-college level as Montgomery Preparatory School of WVU in 1895.  In 1917, WVU Tech was separated from WVU and renamed the West Virginia Trade School.  Next, in 1921, WVU Tech reached the junior college level as the New River Trade School.  Tech became a four-year college as New River State College in 1931 and was renamed the West Virginia Institute of Technology in 1941.

 

In 1996 the college became the largest regional campus of West Virginia University and is separately accredited from the main campus.  On July 1, 2007, WVU Tech became a full division of WVU. While several departments on campus report directly to WVU, oversight of all academic areas remains on Tech’s main campus.
