Martinsburg is the largest city in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia and the county seat of Berkeley County. Located along I-81 roughly 80 miles northwest of Washington, DC, Martinsburg has become an important commuter and logistics hub while preserving a rich architectural heritage. The historic downtown features 18th- and 19th-century buildings, the restored Apollo Civic Theatre, and the Martinsburg Roundhouse historic site.
