History

The town of Green Spring came into importance in 1819 when the Virginia General Assembly provided for a “public warehouse for the receipt of tobacco be established at Romney warehouse and at Cresap’s warehouse at the confluence of the North and South Branches of the Potomac in Hampshire County.”

John Jeremiah Jacob (1829-1893) was born in Green Spring December 9, 1829. Jacob was a member of the West Virginia House of Delegates from Hampshire County in 1869 and Governor of West Virginia from 1871 to 1877. Jacob died in Wheeling on November 24, 1893, and is interred at Indian Mound Cemetery in Romney.

The Green Spring Train Station (1882-1885) remains one of the town’s most important historic sites.
