Currently, it encompasses thirteen small, unincorporated communities. Located a few miles from Morgantown, WV, this area’s predominant industry in the early twentieth century was coal mining and production. Scotts Run became well known nationally during the years of the Great Depression, when photographers and the relief efforts of First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt publicized the impoverished conditions faced by the community. Since the decline in the coal industry in the area, Scotts Run’s population has rapidly decreased. However, the current community is active in revitalization efforts to promote new businesses and heritage tourism. ==Pre-Industrial history== In the late 19th century, Scotts Run main industry was agriculture. The population was largely homogenous, consisting of American-born white farmers who owned small plots of land. Because the hillsides were unsuitable for most crops, the farmers of the Cass District mostly raised livestock, particularly sheep and cattle. Farmers were primarily forced out of the area because of high land prices after the coal fields began to be developed.〔Core, Earl L. ''The Monongalia Story: A Bicentennial History. V. Sophistication.'' Parsons, WV: McClain Printing Company, 1984.〕 Geologist William Barton Rogers conducted the first surveys of the coal producing potential of the area in 1836. By 1902, two companies had purchased land near the mouth of the Run. However, the lack of a railroad outlet slowed the development of the area, until the Morgantown and Wheeling Railroad was completed in 1916. Demand for coal produced by World War I contributed to the rush to develop the coal field.〔Yeager, Matthew. "Scotts Run: A Community in Transition."
