"Hardy County was authorized by the Virginia General Assembly on December 10, 1785 and organized in February 1786 from parts of Hampshire County. . . . The first federal census in 1790 revealed that Hardy County had the third largest population (7,336) of the nine counties that were then in existence within present-day West Virginia. . . . New settlement in Hardy County slowed during the early 1800s as most eastern seaboard pioneers traveled north of the county on their way west. In 1820, Hardy County's population had fallen to around 5,700 people . . . During the 1840s, the Hardy County Turnpike was also completed. It ran from Moorefield to Winchester, Virginia. These turnpikes and their extensions enabled the expansion of the cattle industry that was rapidly replacing small scale agriculture as the primary means of earning a living in Hardy County."
