History of West Virginia
The history of West Virginia stems from the 1861 Wheeling Convention, which was an assembly of northwestern Southern Unionist from northwestern counties of the state of Virginia. They aimed to repeal the Ordinance of Secession that Virginia made at the start of the American Civil War (1861–1865). West Virginia was formed and recognized by the U.S. Congress on June 20, 1863, and protected by the U.S. Army.
The area that comprises West Virginia was originally part of the British Virginia Colony (1607–1776) and the western part of the U.S. Commonwealth of Virginia (1776–1788), and state of Virginia (1788–1863).
