History

The community was first settled by Andrew Cottrill (1736-1781) in 1772.

In 1903, 453 acres were purchased to create the Steelton Addition to the city of Clarksburg and representatives of the Cleveland, Ohio based Grasselli Chemical company agreed to locate a plant on the property. In May 1904, operations began at the first unit of the chemical plant employing 50. In June 1904, plans were developed to construct houses to rent to plant employees. Many of the workers were immigrants from Asturias, Spain. In 1917, a post office was established and given the name of Anmoore. In December 1950, the city was incorporated and Victor Gonzalez was elected the first mayor.
