Newell’s pottery roots shaped its growth and local economy
Once a bustling company town, Newell is now a quiet rural community on the northern tip of the West Virginia panhandle. The unincorporated community sprang up around the Fiesta Tableware Company, formerly the Homer Laughlin China Company. The region is one of the largest pottery producers in the United States, and the company’s foundation led to population growth in the early 1900s. While the community has declined in size over the years, vintage homes and historic parks serve as a reminder of its heyday. Fiesta is still around, employing hundreds of people. Ergon West Virginia is another major employer nearby, while East Liverpool, Ohio provides access to shopping, dining and health care just across the Ohio River.
