Ohio County was created by an act of the Virginia General Assembly in October 1776 from parts of the District of West Augusta (Virginia).
It was named in honor of the Ohio River that forms the county's western boundary. The river's name was derived from the Indian word
Ohionhiio, meaning great or beautiful river.
The first native settlers in West Virginia's Northern Panhandle (Brooke, Hancock, Ohio and Marshall counties) were the Mound Builders,
also known as the Adena people. Remnants of the Mound Builder's civilization have been found throughout northern West Virginia, with
many artifacts found in the Northern Panhandle, especially in Marshall County. The Grave Creek Indian Mound, located in Moundsville,
is one of West Virginia's most famous historic landmarks. More than 2,000 years old, it stands 69 feet high and 295 feet in diameter.
According to missionary reports, several thousand Hurons occupied present-day West Virginia during the late 1500s and early 1600s.
During the 1600s, the Iroquois Confederacy (then consisting of the Mohawk, Onondaga, Cayuga, Oneida and Seneca tribes) drove the
Hurons from the state. The Iroquois Confederacy was headquartered in New York and was not interested in occupying present-day
West Virginia. Instead, they used it as a hunting ground during the spring and summer months.
During the early 1700s, the Northern Panhandle was also used as a hunting ground by the Mingo, who lived in the Tygart Valley and along
the Ohio River, and the Delaware, who lived in present-day eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, but had several autonomous
settlements as far south as present-day Braxton County.
