7_3 | History |
7_4 | Ritchie was one of fifty Virginia counties that were admitted to the Union as the state of West |
7_5 | Virginia on June 20, 1863, at the height of the Civil War. Later that year, the new state's |
7_6 | counties were divided into civil townships, with the intention of encouraging local government. |
7_7 | This proved impractical in the heavily rural state, and in 1872 the townships were converted into |
7_8 | magisterial districts. Ritchie County was divided into four districts: Clay, Grant, Murphy, and |
7_9 | Union. |
7_10 | In 1911, historian Minnie Kendall Lowther published "The History of Ritchie County." Her book is |
7_11 | still regarded as one of the most comprehensive histories of any county in West Virginia. |

7_55 | Politics |
7_56 | After having leaned strongly towards the Democratic Party between the New Deal and Bill Clinton's |
7_57 | presidency, most of West Virginia has since 2000 seen an extremely rapid swing towards the |
7_58 | Republican Party due to declining unionization along with views on environmental, social and |
7_59 | cultural issues increasingly at odds with the national Democratic party. In contrast, Ritchie |
7_60 | County along with neighbouring Doddridge County and Tyler County were historically powerfully |
7_61 | Unionist and have always been solidly Republican since the Civil War. Only one Democratic |
7_62 | presidential nominee has carried Ritchie County since West Virginia's statehood: Woodrow Wilson in |
7_63 | 1912, and he won by a mere six votes with only 34.22 percent of all votes against a Republican |
7_64 | Party mortally divided between conservative incumbent Taft and progressive Theodore Roosevelt. |
