==History==
[[File:Map of Ohio, Monongalia, & Yohogania Counties.jpg|left|145px|thumb|Map of Ohio, Monongalia, & Yohogania Counties circa 1776. Monongalia County is in magenta.]]

Monongalia County takes its name from the [[Monongahela River]]. The name ''Monongalia'' may be a misspelling of Monongahela. Alternatively, the conventional Latinate ending "-ia" (designating "land of..." or "country of..." — as in ''Arabia'', ''Bolivia'' or ''Colombia'') may have been added to Monongahela (i.e., "Land of the Monongahela").

Monongalia County was formed in 1776 when [[Virginia]]'s remote [[District of West Augusta]] was divided into three counties: [[Ohio County, West Virginia|Ohio]], [[Yohogania County|Yohogania]] and Monongalia, all named for their most prominent rivers. Ohio County then encompassed most of the western region of the district bordering the [[Ohio River]], including parts of what is now southwestern [[Pennsylvania]]. Yohogania County consisted of much of what is now southwestern Pennsylvania and the present counties of [[Hancock County, West Virginia|Hancock]] and the northern part of [[Brooke County, West Virginia|Brooke]] in West Virginia. Monongalia County also encompassed what are now the counties of [[Tucker County, West Virginia|Tucker]], [[Randolph County, West Virginia|Randolph]], [[Marion County, West Virginia|Marion]], [[Harrison County, West Virginia|Harrison]] and [[Barbour County, West Virginia|Barbour]] in north-central West Virginia, as well as parts of what are now [[Washington County, Pennsylvania|Washington]], [[Greene County, Pennsylvania|Greene]] and [[Fayette County, Pennsylvania|Fayette Counties]] in Pennsylvania. In 1780, in his ''[[Notes on the State of Virginia]]'', [[Thomas Jefferson]] gave the militia enrollment of what was then the vast Monongalia County at 1,000 troops.
[[File:Baptist Church, Morgantown, West Virginia.jpg|thumb|Forks-Of-Cheat Baptist Church sign on Stewartstown Road, reflecting the region's early beginnings.]]
In 1863, West Virginia's counties were divided into [[civil township]]s, with the intention of encouraging local government. This proved impractical in the heavily rural state, and in 1872 the townships were converted into [[minor civil division|magisterial districts]].<ref>Otis K. Rice & Stephen W. Brown, ''West Virginia: A History'', 2nd ed., University Press of Kentucky, Lexington (1993), p. 240.</ref>  Monongalia County was divided into seven districts: Battelle, Cass, Clay, Clinton, Grant, Morgan, and Union. After a century of relative stability, in the 1970s Monongalia's seven historic magisterial districts were consolidated into three new Districts: Central, Eastern, and Western.<ref>[[United States Census Bureau]], [[United States Census|U.S. Decennial Census]], Tables of Minor Civil Divisions in West Virginia, 1870–2010.</ref>

==Government and politics==
The county government consists of a county commission with three members. Currently, these members are: Thomas Bloom [[Democratic Party (United States)|(D)]],<ref>{{Cite web|title=WV SOS - Elections - Election Results - Online Data Services|url=http://apps.sos.wv.gov/elections/results/results.aspx?year=&eid=13&county=Monongalia&type=OFFICIAL|access-date=August 22, 2021|website=apps.sos.wv.gov}}</ref> Sean Sikora [[Republican Party (United States)|(R)]] and Jeffery Arnett (D).<ref>{{Cite web|title=Historical Election Results|url=https://www.monongaliacountyclerk.com/index.php/elections/18-previous-elections/33-historical-election-results|access-date=August 22, 2021|website=www.monongaliacountyclerk.com}}</ref> While still typically favoring Republicans, the county tends to lean significantly more Democratic than the rest of West Virginia.

In the 20th century, Monongalia County had been a [[bellwether]] for West Virginia, voting the same as the state in every election from [[1916 United States presidential election|1916]] to [[2024 United States presidential election|2024]], even as the candidate lost the national election, with the sole exception of [[2008 United States presidential election|2008]] when [[Barack Obama]] won the county and lost the state. [[Donald Trump]] carried the county with just over 500 more votes than Democrat [[Joe Biden]] in the 2020 presidential election, by far Biden's best county-level performance in the state.

Its competitiveness is due to its seat, Morgantown, home of the [[West Virginia University]], being solidly Democratic and the county's rural precincts being solidly Republican. The rural precincts are slightly more populous, resulting in the county's Republican tilt.{{PresHead|place=Monongalia County, West Virginia|source=<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS|title=Dave Leip's Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections|last=Leip|first=David|website=uselectionatlas.org|access-date=March 28, 2018}}</ref>}}
