The Marshall County Chamber of Commerce is organized for the purpose of promoting and advancing the economic, industrial, professional, cultural, and civic welfare of the county and surrounding area.
Named for John Marshall, who served as Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court for 34 years, Marshall County was formed in 1835. Marshall County covers 307 square miles in the Northern Panhandle of West Virginia, and the city of Moundsville serves as the county seat.
Moundsville takes its name from the largest Indian burial mound in the world built by people who lived in this area nearly 2,000 years ago. It is believed to be a burial place for important people in the tribe.
