Purpose & Establishment


The Weirton Hall of Fame Committee was established to honor former and current Weirton Residents for "outstanding accomplishment" in the following six specific areas of endeavors:
  • Business, Industry and Professions
  • Education and Religion
  • Music and Fine Arts
  • Philanthropy
  • Public Service
  • Sports and Athletics
The Hall of Fame Committee was established in 2008 by an Ordinance submitted by Councilperson Max Fijewski and unanimously approved by Weirton City Council. At that time, the City Council also approved the establishment of a Hall of Fame Study Committee to develop the by-laws under which the Committee would operate. The final document from the Study Committee was received, reviewed, and approved by City Council.
