Introduction
West Virginia became the United States thirty-fifth state on June 20, 1863. The capital is Charleston. This state takes its name from the "Virgin Queen" Elizabeth I. Mother's Day began in West Virginia and that is just one of many firsts. The first rural mail delivery, the first brick street, the first free school for African Americans, and the first state sales tax all originated in the Mountain State. West Virginia measures 24,087 square miles, ranking it 41st in size among the 50 states.
