Image:Bluefield, West Virginia.jpg of Bluefield from the East River Mountain OverlookThe history of Bluefield begins in the 1700s, when two families settled in a rugged and remote part of what is now southern West Virginia, and built a small village with a mill, a church, a one-room schoolhouse, and a fort for defending the small settlement against invasions by the much larger Shawnee Indian tribe on the banks of the Bluestone River. The population was 11,451 at the 2000 census. The Davidson and Bailey family had to sell a portion of their land when in 1882, Captain John Fields, of the Norfolk and Western Railroad pioneered the area and began building a new railroad through the hills of Bluefield. . However, research has indicated that this settlement which was also known as Higginbotham's Summit in the 1880's was probably named for the coal fields of the Bluestone River.
