Middlebourne is a town in Tyler County, West Virginia, USA. The population was 870 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat[3] and was established by an enactment of the Virginia General Assembly in 1813.[4] Two explanations have been given for the name of the town: One is that it was located halfway between Pennsylvania and a series of salt wells along the Kanawha River upstream of Charleston; the other is that it is located midway between the source and the mouth of Middle Island Creek,[4] which flows through the town.[5]
