Berkeley County was created by an act of the House of Burgesses in February 1772 from the northern third of Frederick County (Virginia). Most historians believe that the county was named for Norborne Berkeley, Baron de Botetourt (1718–1770), Colonial Governor of Virginia from 1768 to 1770. Berkely County separated from Virginia during the US Civil War and was admitted to the union on June 20, 1863 as part of the state of West Virginia. Its county seat is Martinsburg. Berkeley County is included in the Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV Metropolitan Statistical Area.
