I'm assuming you mean why isn't there a North/South/East Virginia as well. There is a West Virginia because the western half of the state wanted to become its own state. After debating over various names, including ones such as "Kanawha," the representatives of this new state government in the Wheeling Convention decided on the name "West Virginia." As no other parts of the state have broken off, there is no "North/South/East Virginia."
