This resolution, introduced on February 14, 2025, seeks to honor former President Donald J. Trump by proposing the renaming of Spruce Knob, the highest point in West Virginia, to "Trump Mountain." The resolution highlights Trump's significant support from West Virginia voters during the 2016, 2020, and 2024 presidential elections, emphasizing his contributions to the state, particularly in areas such as the coal industry, job creation, and infrastructure development. It also acknowledges his broader national achievements, including economic growth, military readiness, and judicial reforms, as well as his resilience in overcoming challenges during his presidency.
The resolution calls for the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to consider this renaming five years after Trump's passing, as a tribute to his legacy and influence on both West Virginia and the nation. Additionally, it encourages West Virginians to reflect on Trump's leadership and its lasting impact. The Clerk of the House of Delegates is tasked with forwarding the resolution to the U.S. Board on Geographic Names for their consideration.
