Narrative
Jefferson County was created from part of Berkeley County in 1801. In an arguably unconstitutional move, both counties were taken from the State of Virginia and joined to the new state of West Virginia by the federal government in 1866. (The remainder of West Virginia had been formed earlier, during the Civil War.)
