History

WV 100 was the prior route of US 19 prior to the construction of the Star City Bridge over the Monongahela River, which crosses over WV 100 about 1/3 of the way from its southern terminus, in about 1950. Prior to that time, there was no river crossing into Morgantown other than the Westover Bridge.
