Summersville was established in 1820 and made the county seat. Nicholas County, which was settled about 1785, was crossed by the Pocahontas Trail which led from the Greenbrier Valley to the valley of the Great Kanawha.

This historical marker was placed in 2007 by the West Virginia Division of Archives and History. It is a replacement for an earlier marker from the 1960's that was in poor condition.
