History

West Point was not officially platted.[3] A post office called West Point had been in operation from 1836 to 1903, and again from 1955 until 2018.[4]

On July 26, 1863, Union forces defeated Confederate General John Hunt Morgan at the Battle of Salineville following his 1,000 mile raid along the Ohio River. Union General James M. Shackelford and his 3,000 men army, in addition to the Steubenville and New Lisbon militias, captured Morgan and his remaining men in a short firefight west of West Point. The John H. Morgan Surrender Site commemorates the location of the surrender.
