Many settlers ventured into the Fairmont area to farm during its early history. However, it wasn’t until much later that it became a bonafide town. The story goes that Boaz Flemming, who owned a 254-acre farm in the area, made his annual trip to Clarksburg to pay his brother’s Harrison County taxes. While there, he attended an event with his cousin Dolley Madison, wife of President James Madison. Flemming complained about the 100-mile trek to pay taxes. She suggested that he create his own county. In 1818, he started a petition to form one, but the residents of the only town in the area wanted to remain part of Monongalia County. Thus, the petition failed. As a result, Flemming sought to create a village near his farm. In 1820, the town of Middleburg was established. After the creation of Marion County, Middleburg became the county seat. Residents later changed the name to Fairmont, and the Virginia Assembly incorporated it in 1843. Fairmont’s population grew rapidly at the turn of the 20th century, thanks largely to the many railroads that passed through it. The city became a commercial hub and an epicenter for coal trading. It continued to grow, turning into the prosperous city it is today.
