West Virginia's first state officials were elected in 1863 when the state was formed during the Civil War. The first governor was Arthur I. Boreman. The initial state legislature included both a Senate and a House of Delegates, with members elected to represent the newly established state. These officials played a crucial role in establishing West Virginia’s governance and identity separate from Virginia.
