North Hills unfolds across rolling terrain, a landscape of verdant hills that soften into gentle slopes, their crests often softened by a haze that seems to linger from the coal seams beneath. It lies 2.5 miles north of Morgantown, WV (from Morgantown, WV: bearing 6°T), and is situated 5.2 miles west of Cheat Lake. The air here carries the scent of damp earth and pine, a cool, clean breath that promises respite, particularly when the sun dips low, casting long, striated shadows across the hollows and drawing out the subtle purples and grays of the evening. Fields, some neatly cultivated and others allowed to return to a wilder state, punctuate the dense stands of oak and maple, their edges often blurred by the encroaching forest. The winding roads, hemmed by the persistent greenery, suggest a life lived in close communion with the land, where the changing seasons dictate the rhythm of days. The history of North Hills is deeply intertwined with the extractive industries that once fueled the region, a legacy whispered in the rust of abandoned machinery and the faint, persistent scent of coal dust that can still be detected on certain days. While the immediate landscape doesn't boast grand monuments, the very character of North Hills is shaped by generations who worked the earth and the mines, their resilience etched into the stoic faces of the older homes. Today, the local economy is a more diversified tapestry, a blend of smaller businesses and services that cater to the surrounding population, with a quiet hum of everyday commerce replacing the roar of heavy industry. The nearby university, though not within the precise bounds of North Hills itself, exerts a subtle influence, bringing a youthful energy and intellectual current that ripples through the broader community.
