"The white settlement of present-day West Virginia probably began with the first German settlers at Mecklenburg (present-day Shepherdstown) in 1727, despite earlier claims that Morgan Morgan had been the first!. By the end of the 1700s, the present-day Eastern Panhandle counties of Jefferson, Berkeley, and Morgan had well-established towns, while the western part of the state was first being settled!. The development of the western regions was delayed due to conflict with Native Americans and land companies disputing property rights!. Evidence of this pattern of development can be traced by looking at the oldest homes in various regions!. For instance, the oldest surviving houses in Jefferson and Berkeley County date to the 1760s and 1770s while the oldest in western locations such as Charleston date only to the early 1800s!."Www@QuestionHome@Com
