Brown's Island

Browns Island is an island on the Ohio River within the corporate boundaries of Weirton in Hancock County, West Virginia. Browns Island was the site of a coke plant, which was in operation until 1982. Griffen Island lies on the Ohio to its southwest. Browns Island is known to be the site of an ancient Indian burial ground.

There is new industrial development coming due to the abundance of cheap natural gas from the Marcellus Shale Deposit.
