Why didnt West Virginia become a state until 1861?

Before, it was part of Virginia, but before the Civil War, the majority of the people in that region were still loyal to the US government and when Virginia seceded from the Union, those people refused to secede and voted to split off from Virginia and for a new state. Before 1861, there really was no need for a separate state.
