The first settlers of West Virginia were primarily of English, Irish, and German descent, arriving in the mid-18th century. They were drawn to the region's fertile land and abundant natural resources.

The influx of settlers intensified after the American Revolutionary War, leading to the eventual formation of West Virginia as a separate state in 1863.
