Belmont County, located in the southeastern part of the great state of Ohio, was established on September 7, 1801. It was one of the earliest counties in Ohio, named after the French words "belle monte," which means "beautiful mountain." The area was originally inhabited by various Native American tribes, such as the Shawnee, Delaware, and Mingo.

Belmont County holds historical significance from the days of the American Revolutionary War. Fort Henry, which lies close to the county, was attacked by British forces and their Native American allies in 1777 and 1782. The county also played an essential role throughout the westward expansion of the United States in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, as many settlers moved to Ohio in search of new lands and opportunities.

The main cities in Belmont County include St. Clairsville, which is the county seat, and Martins Ferry. St. Clairsville is home to numerous historical buildings such as the Clarendon Hotel and the Belmont County Courthouse.

Belmont County has contributed to the American economy by way of coal mining and the steel industry. The industrial boom throughout the early and mid-20th century, particularly in Martins Ferry, supported the local economy and the population at that time.

A fun fact about Belmont County is that it is the birthplace of James Wright, a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet. Wright was born in Martins Ferry in 1927 and went on to become a prominent figure in modern American literature, also receiving a Guggenheim Fellowship in 1963.

In summary, Belmont County, Ohio, boasts rich historical roots, from ancient Native American tribes to its contributions to the American Revolutionary War and industrial development. The county also proudly claims James Wright, a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet, as a native son.
