Barbour County, West Virginia
Barbour County is a county located in north-central West Virginia. At the 2010 census, the population was 16,589.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/54/54001.html )〕 The county seat is Philippi,〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 which was chartered in 1844. Both county and city were named for Philip Pendleton Barbour (1783–1841), a U.S. Congressman from Virginia and Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. The county was formed in 1843〔http://www.wvculture.org/history/wvcounties.html〕 when the region was still part of the state of Virginia. In 1871, a small part of Barbour County was transferred to Tucker County, West Virginia.
The Battle of Philippi, also known as the "Philippi Races", was fought in Barbour County on June 3, 1861. Although a minor action, it is generally considered the first land engagement of the American Civil War.
Alderson Broaddus University, an American Baptist institution, is located in the county. The University's Physician Assistant (PA) program is one of the oldest and best established in the world.
