Hampshire County
Established in 1754, Hampshire County is West Virginia’s oldest county. The county experienced significant action during the Civil War as the Confederate forces sought to control the vital B&O Railroad .
Currently, more than 20,000 people live in the county, making it the fourth-fastest growing in the state—in keeping with most of the Eastern Panhandle. This growth has led to a median income that is higher than the state average of around $29,000.
