Pocahontas County
.
The county was named after Pocahontas, the Indian princess who was the
daughter of Chief Powhatan, the King of the Confederated tribes of
Atlantic Virginia
.
The original courthouse was built at Huntersville, which was the first county seat
. However, in 1891, the county seat was moved to Marlinton
.
During the Civil War, Pocahontas County was added to the
new state of West Virginia without the input of the citizens. The new
state government in Wheeling reorganized the county militia as a
Unionist force. After the war, most of the voters in the county were
disfranchised due to their support of Richmond and the Confederacy, and
full voting rights were not restored until 1871
