William Stewart and his wife Elizabeth Givens Stewart originally settled Stewardstown in 1771.[1] It lies in the region of Monongalia County known as The Forks of Cheat, [2] so named because that is the area where the Cheat empties (forks) into the Monongahela River.

It is nestled close to the Cheat River, off US-119 on a bend in the river.

There in 1775, Rev John Corbly[3][4] organized the Forks-of-the-Cheat Baptist Church,[5] the oldest continuously operating church in West Virginia.
