Brooke County was named for Robert Brooke, governor of Virginia from 1794 to 1796. Settlement in this region of West Virginia began as early as 1744, but it was a half century later, in 1796, that Brooke County was formed from a portion of Ohio County. In 1848 the northern half of Brooke was cut off to form Hancock County.
