Marion County, WV Birth, Death, Marriage, Divorce Records

In Marion County, families may purchase post-1917 birth, death, and marriage records for about $12.00 from the Health Statistics Center. See the Marion County Clerk for earlier vital records. After 100 years for birth records, 50 years for death, marriage, and divorce records, this information is usually made public. European settlers first arrived in present-day Marion County during the 1760s. The population of Fairmont (now the county seat) remained low until a road was constructed between Clarksburg and Morgantown in 1819. Named for American Revolutionary War hero General Francis "Swamp Fox" Marion, the county was created in 1842 from Harrison and Monongalia Counties.
