History of Saint Clairsville
The seat of justice of Belmont County was originally known as Newellstown, and under the latter name was laid out in the late 1790s by David Newell. The name of the settlement was soon changed to St. Clairsville in honor of Northwest Territory Governor and Revolutionary War Major-General Arthur St. Clair.In 1833, St. Clairsville was the first notable town west of Wheeling on the National Road: it contained a brick courthouse and jail, five houses of worship, seventeen or eighteen mercantile stores, several groceries, a drug store, a book store, five taverns, three printing offices, four or five physicians, fourteen or fifteen lawyers, and a large number of mechanics' shops. Charles Kuralt's "On the Road" segment of CBS Evening News drove through St. Clairsville for a TV segment in the 1960s.
