Monongalia County, County administrative division in Morgantown, West Virginia, United States
Monongalia County extends over mountains and valleys in northern West Virginia, with Morgantown serving as its central administrative hub and largest population center.
The county formed on October 7, 1776, from the District of West Augusta in Virginia and remained part of Virginia until West Virginia separated in 1863.
West Virginia University, established in 1867, transformed the county into an educational center and influences local development through research and academic programs.
The county provides online services for property tax payments, GIS parcel viewing, and access to real estate records through the Assessor's Office website.
The county maintains three distinct administrative districts - Central, Eastern, and Western - following a 1970s reorganization of seven historical magisterial areas.
