HUNTINGTON â Ever wonder where Cox Landing got its name?
The name came from the Cox family, one of the first to settle in the region. In 1795, William T. Cox moved from Buckingham County, Virginia, to Mason County, and then later settled in eastern Cabell County. There he opened a general store and built a crude wharf where he could do business with the Ohio River steamboats of that day. Hence the Cox Landing name.
Itâs said that Cox Landing was one of the spots on the Ohio River where local families helped escaped slaves flee to freedom on the Underground Railroad.
