Fayette County was created in 1831 from portions of Logan, Greenbrier, Nicholas and Kanawha counties. Fayette was the second county named for the Marquis de Lafayette. In 1833 Fayette gave a small parcel of territory back to Greenbrier County, and in 1839 another small parcel was returned to Kanawha County. Raleigh County was formed in 1850 from the southern part of Fayette County, and also in that year a slight adjustment was made in the boundary line between Fayette and Kanawha counties, with territory accruing to Fayette.
