When is West Virginia's Birthday?
The admission date and birthdate of West Virginia.
We here at Research Maniacs consider West Virginia's birthdate
to be the day West Virginia joined the Union. In other words,
West Virginia's birthday is the date of statehood for West Virginia.
The admission date and therefore the birthdate of West Virginia is:
June 20, 1863.
You may also be interested to know that West Virginia is the
35th state to be admitted to the Union.
Do you know what day of the week West Virginia was born? We have
made a calendar for 1863
so you can find out.
Anyway, if this is June 20, then this is West Virginia's Birthday. Happy Birthday West Virginia!
