About New Martinsville

The city of New Martinsville is located in Wetzel County, in northern West Virginia, on the Ohio River. The area was settled by Edward Doolin in 1780, and was later called Martin’s Fort, in honor of Presley Martin, who bought the land and organized defensive measures after Doolin was killed by Native Americans. However, in 1838, the name was changed to Martinsville, and then again to New Martinsville in 1846 in order to avoid confusion with Martinsville, Virginia. The city’s economy is made up of the chemical, glass, and aluminum manufacturing industries.
