Gauley Bridge is found in Fayette County (Southern Region). The city was the scene of heavy fighting during the Civil War. In 1861 the old bridge was destroyed during a Confederate retreat from the forces of Union General William Starke Rosecrans. The city has the piers of the old bridge as a monument of the history of the city. When visiting the area it can still be seen upstream from the present bridge across the Gauley River.
