Doddridge County, County in West Virginia, United States
Doddridge County extends across 320 square miles of rolling hills and valleys in north-central West Virginia, featuring forests and small communities throughout its territory.
The county was established on February 4, 1845, from parts of Harrison, Tyler, Ritchie, and Lewis Counties, with West Union selected as its administrative center.
The Ideal Glass Factory and Doddridge County Window Glass Company shaped the industrial heritage of the region, employing hundreds of workers in manufacturing operations.
Local government services are accessible through the Doddridge Connect App, which provides updates on county news, events, and emergency alerts to residents.
The discovery of oil at Center Point in 1892 transformed the county into an early petroleum production center, extending drilling technology from western Pennsylvania.
