Morgan County
Morgan County is located in the Eastern Panhandle, tightly wedged between Virginia and Maryland. At one point, it comes within 2 miles of separating Maryland into two parts. Its county seat is Berkeley Springs, which is famous for its warm springs. George Washington frequently visited the private baths in the resort. Today, it is known as an arts community, with several businesses featuring locally-made crafts. The population of Morgan County was 17,541 (2010 Census).
Major cities in Morgan County include Berkeley Springs and Paw Paw.
