Hampshire County, West Virginia’s Oldest County,

“In the same month (May 1754) that Col. George Washington fired the shots in the far western Ohio country that would begin the great contest to decide the fate of the North American Continent, Hampshire County was officially formed.” ( Photo:

“The next two years of the French and Indian War would be very bloody years in Hampshire County's history. Following the defeat of Gen. Braddock in 1755 the Virginia frontier was left open to attacks by the French and their Indian allies.“ ( Photo from Corbis.com

Once the war ended the pace of settlement quickened, and homes, villages and churches would rise in the new county. “ (

“Almost 100 years later…the great Civil War would leave the county severely wounded, its citizens nearly destitute. But once again the people of Hampshire County would rebuild their homes and communities … “ (

“The year 2004 marks the 250th anniversary of the founding of Hampshire County. “
