[Moundsville is a city in Marshall County, West Virginia, along the Ohio River, part of the Wheeling Metropolitan Statistical Area. It is the county seat of Marshall County[3]. The city was named for the Grave Creek Mound.[4] Moundsville was settled in 1771 by Samuel & James Tomlinson. (Elizabethtown, as Tomlinson's community was called, was incorporated in 1830. The Tomlinson brothers and their companions settled in the flats along Grave Creek, near Moundsville. As settlers continued to move into the region, James Tomlinson decided in 1798 to plat a town. He called it Elizabethtown, in honor of his wife. The first lot in the town was sold for $8 to Andrew Rogers on November 15, 1799. Nearby, the town of Mound City was incorporated in 1832. (The two towns combined in 1865.)
