Title: "West Virginia: A Seismic Shift in Geography and Loyalty"

West Virginia, born out of a complex historical moment, gained its name during the tumultuous years of the American Civil War. As Virginia seceded from the Union in 1861, residents in the western region, which largely opposed secession, declared their loyalty to the Union and formed a new state.

In 1863, West Virginia officially joined the United States as the 35th state. The name reflects the state's geographical position to the west of Virginia. Its creation marked a unique moment in history when the people of the region chose to align their loyalties with the Union during a time of intense national division.

Today, West Virginia stands as a testament to the resilience and independence of its people, with a name that echoes the seismic shifts in loyalties and borders during a pivotal period in American history.
