Tyler County was formed in 1815 from the southern part of Ohio County. It was named for John Tyler, governor of Virginia from 1808 to 1811 and father of the tenth president of the United States, John Tyler, Jr. In 1845 a part of Tyler was taken to form Doddridge County; in 1846 all of Wetzel County came from Tyler lands. A portion of Pleasants County came from Tyler in 1851. In 1868 two farms were transferred from Wetzel County to Tyler's jurisdiction, and the county's boundaries have not changed since then.
