the appalachians are so old the mountaintops used to be river bottoms. they are so old the scottish highlands are in the same mountain range. they are literally older than trees. trees first appeared 400 million years ago. the appalachians were formed over a billion years ago.

It’s called the New River bc the person that discovered it just wrote “new river” on the map he was drawing at the time and just never got around to naming it. At least that’s the local legend. 😅

Susquehanna River too! The River came first and the mountains grew up around it.

The easiest way to put it in perspective is that the Appalachians are older than the Atlantic, by a lot.

In WV history we were taught it was named the “New River” because its path is constantly changing due to our geography compared to most normal rivers.

Why is it called the new River: When it was discovered, it wasn’t documented on previous maps so they called it “New” and the name “New River” stuck!
