Stoneware maker Alexander Polk Donaghho, who moved to Parkersburg from Fredericktown, Pennsylvania, in 1870, built his kiln at what became known as Pottery Junction because of the area's deposits of clay. Pottery Junction is now the intersection of Murdoch and Emerson Avenues, just below Terrapin Park. His factory closed around 1903 or'04.
