Woodsfield, the Monroe County seat
Woodsfield is the county seat of Monroe County. Henry Howe wrote about it in his Historical Collections of Ohio, printed in 1891. He said the town was founded in 1815. Its founders included Archibald Woods of Wheeling and George Paul. Today the Monroe County Courthouse stands on Main Street, in the thick red blocks at the center of the map. It's on the National Register, and so are the Monroe Bank and the Monroe Theatre on North Main Street.
