Hampshire County was created by the Virginia General Assembly on December 13, 1753 from parts of Frederick and Augusta counties (Virginia) and is the oldest county in the state of
West Virginia
Although its creation was authorized in 1753,
Hampshire
County
was not actually organized until 1757 because the area was not considered safe due to the outbreak of the French and Indian War (1754-1763). According to Samuel Kercheval's
A History of the Valley of Virginia
, the county was named in honor of its several prize hogs
Its county seat is Romney, West Virginia's oldest town (1762). The county lies in both
West Virginia
's Eastern Panhandle and Potomac Highlands regions. Hampshire County is part of the Winchester, VA-WV Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)
