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.
|

|
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.

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.
