Shepherdstown claims to be the oldest town in West Virginia; it was purportedly settled between 1730 and 1734, but some historians believe that the settlement could have taken place as early as 1719. Shepherdstown was originally chartered in 1762 under the name of Mecklenburg, but it was changed to Shepherd’s Town in 1798 and then to Shepherdstown in 1867. The town was named after Thomas Shepherd, the founder.
Other firsts for Shepherdstown include the first newspaper in the state (published in 1790 by Nathaniel Willis) and the first public exhibition of the steamboat (James Rumsey, 1787).
