James and Frank Prince developed the railroad town of Prince in Fayette County.  Most of us are familiar with the Prince Train Station.  This is the old station as it originally appeared.  This structure was replaced with the art deco building we known today.

This would be the art deco building.

According to Google Maps, Prince is the entire peninsula, not just the settlement along the river.

The C&O forked in Prince. It used the tunnel to continue along the New River and it crossed the river to follow Piney Creek over a mountain to Beckly, WV.
