In 1764 the trapper John Simpson became the first European known to claim land in the area, and about 1773 Daniel Davisson acquired 400 acres where Clarksburg now stands. When Harrison County was created in 1784, Clarksburg became its county seat, and in 1785 the Virginia General Assembly chartered the town, naming it for the Revolutionary War officer George Rogers Clark. Work on the first courthouse began in 1787, the year the Assembly founded Randolph Academy, the first such school west of the Alleghenies. The Northwestern Turnpike reached Clarksburg in 1836 and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad in 1856.
On April 22, 1861, Unionists led by John S. Carlile met in convention in Clarksburg and called for delegates to meet at Wheeling the next month, which led to the First Wheeling Convention. Clarksburg's rail link made it a Union supply base, and Federal troops occupied the city during the war. In 1877 it was one of three cities on the ballot for the permanent state capital, which went to Charleston. Coal, oil and natural gas drew industry, and the population grew from 4,050 in 1900 to 27,869 in 1920. The Hazel-Atlas Glass plant opened in 1902 and ran until 1987, and the Akro Agate marble company moved to Clarksburg in 1914. Kelly Miller High School served Black students from 1903 until 1956. After plant closures in the 1980s, the FBI built its Criminal Justice Information Services Division near the city, completed in July 1995. Sources Wikipedia: Clarksburg, West Virginia
