==Companies and schools== Inwood is home to [[Knouse Foods]] Musselman plant. The plant opened in 1920 after it was located there due to the active pursuance of local investors who contributed money to buy the property where the plant is located. It was part of the old Inwood Park. The C.H. Musselman Plant, in 1929, became the first apple processing plant to exclusively produce canned apple sauce. It can be said the apple sauce literally put the C.H. Musselman plant and the town of Inwood on the map. In the 1960s the Musselman company became a part of [[Pet, Inc.|PET, Inc.]], and after a series of changes in ownership was bought by Knouse Foods in 1984, who continued to operate the Inwood facility until November 14, 2008. [[Musselman High School]], located in Inwood, was built in 1949 when the C.H. Musselman Company donated the land, materials and labor as a gift to the community. The high school first opened for the 1949β50 school year. Until the early 1980s, the Musselman Foundation, a philanthropic branch of the company, provided expansions and facilities the school needed whenever possible. The last contribution to the south Berkeley County community being the auditorium. When a new Musselman High School was built in the late 1990s, the original Musselman High School was torn down and Musselman Middle School was built on the same site. Inwood School, now Inwood Primary School, opened in 1926 and in 1970 became a primary school with the expansion of schools in southern Berkeley County. An earlier school was located west of present-day I-81 near Inwood, and can be seen on the Berkeley County map of 1894. In the early days of Inwood, there was a cooperage (barrel factory) in the village. East of Inwood, to this day, is a quarrying operation, taking advantage of the limestone below the ground for commercial purposes. Today, Inwood is a high growth area and serves as a bedroom community for the nearby Washington Metropolitan area.<ref name="Berkeley County Historical Society 2007"/> In 2024, Philadelphia-based convenience store chain [[Wawa (company)|Wawa]] broke ground for its first West Virginia location in Inwood.<ref>{{Cite web |title=WaWa is moving into West Virginia, where Sheetz already operates |url=https://www.post-gazette.com/business/career-workplace/2024/08/14/wawa-sheetz-convenience-store-west-virginia/stories/202408140103 |access-date=2024-08-15 |website=Pittsburgh Post-Gazette |language=en}}</ref>
