No. The state's capital was first in Wheeling. In 1870, the capital moved south to Charleston. In 1875, the capital moved back to Wheeling. In 1877, Charleston was declared the permanent location for the state's capital. The capital was moved once again to Charleston in 1885. In 1921, the capitol building burned and the "Pasteboard Capitol" was built. The present day capitol building was built in Charleston in the 1920s and very early in the 1930s, where it has remained since.
