Wirt County was established by an act of the Virginia General Assembly on January 19, 1848, and was named in honor of William Wirt, a famed prosecutor representing the United States in the trial of Vice Pres. Aaron Burr, who was accused of treason. In 1859, the county s population escalated from just a few dozen to several thousand as news of the nation s first big oil boom in Burning Springs was publicized in headlines across the globe.
