It is situated upon an alluvial area, or isthmus, on the east side of the Ohio river, on its meandering course, about 96 miles below Pittsburgh - and lies on both sides of the Wheeling creek, a considerable stream which traverses a fine rich country, and puts into the Ohio just below latitude 40 deg. 3 min. N. A - longitude about 80 deg. 40 min. W. The city is sur rounded by bold and precipitous hills, which contain ex haustless quantities of bitumus coal, of which, more here aftar. It is a chartered city, and a port of entry - and governed by a mayor and council, chosen annually on the fourth Monday of January. The town consists of the original plat laid off in lots in 1793, by 001. Ebenezer Zane, and ten additions thereto, subsequently made b individuals and companies, comprising 1270 lots - 856 of which are on the north, and 414 on the south Side of Wheeling creek. In addition to this, there are 900 lots laid off on the island opposite the town, and, by a subse quent act ef the legislature. The limits of the corporation were so extended as to take in as much more ground eli gible for town site, as would be sufficient for 2000 lots more, which doubtless, before the lapse of much time, will be laid off and offered for sale.
