The Barbour County flag is a bright blue field with a yellow border. In the

outlines. In the foreground are two crossed sabers, a miner's hardhat, two
tress, and a covered bridge. On ether side of the county silhouette is the year
"1843". at the top and bottom of the flag are two yellow banners. The top banner
reads: "BARBOUR COUNTY, WEST VIRGINIA" and the bottom banner reads: "FIRST LAND
BATTLE OF CIVIL WAR".
The two sabers represent the two sides of the
American Civil War, The Union and The Confederacy. The Miner's Hardhat
represents the coal mining industry that was prevalent throughout the county.
The trees represents the nature of the county. The covered bridge refers to the
Philippi Covered Bridge. a historic wood covered bridge which is the oldest and
the longest in West Virginia, and the only one on the United States Numbered
Highway System. The date 1843 is when the county was officially founded. The
bottom banner is about the Battle of Philippi, which was the first land battle
of the Civil War.
