The original owners, Albert and Joseph Boyle, spent $160,000 - a huge sum during the height of the Depression - to build the facility the facility. The facility officially opened as Jefferson County Races on December 3, 1933. During its 70-year run, the track has welcomed historical figures, teetered on the brink of collapse, and reemerged as a premiere gaming and entertainment facility.
Since it was founded in 1933, the race track at Charles Town has seen- and made- history.
