An interesting historical fact about West Virginia is that it was actually part of Virginia before 1863 when it declared its independence from Confederate rule during the American Civil War forming an independent union-loyal state known as West Viriginia; this makes it unique among states in America as being formed by seceding from a Confederate state rather than from Union control.
