Ritchie County, West Virginia, named for famed Richmond journalist
Thomas Ritchie, was originally founded in 1843 from portions of
Harrison, Lewis, and Wood Counties. In the late 19th century,
Ritchie County found itself directly on the Baltimore & Ohio
Rail Line. Early postcards from this era capture the county ripe
with natural resources and the grandeur of the quickly developing
region. The production of oil and natural gas has been a chief
source of development since the early 20th century and continues
today. The area is also known for its agricultural and
manufacturing developments including livestock, grain, glassware,
and lumber products.
