Creation of Yohogania County
Yohogania, Monongalia, and Ohio Counties were
created in 1776 from the District of West Augusta, the western territory
of Augusta County, VA that was treated like a separate county. West
Augusta was administered from Fort Dunmore, Virginia'a name for what is
now Pittsburgh, beginning in 1775. The northern portion of Monongalia
County, the northeastern portion of Ohio County, and and all of
Yohogania County were also known as Westmoreland County, PA which was a
mother to several counties. The area that was the northwest corner of
Monongalia became Washington County, PA in 1781, and most of that became
Greene County, PA in 1796. The area that was the northeast corner of
Monongalia became the southern portion of Fayette County, PA in 1783.
