Wood County was formed in 1798 from the western part of Harrison County and it was named for James Wood, governor of Virginia from 1796 to 1799. In 1800 Kanawha gave land to Wood. In turn, Wood ceded land in the formation of several counties: Jackson (1831), Ritchie (1843), Wirt (1848 & 1863), Pleasants (1851).
