From June 1861 to June 1863, during theCivil War and before West Virginia statehood, the United States recognized theRestored Government of Virginia sitting inWheeling as the "legitimate", pro-Union government of Virginia. Also called theReorganized Government of Virginia, it controlled a contiguous area roughly the same as present-day West Virginia, along with parts ofNorthern Virginia andTidewater. The rest of Virginia was under Confederate military control, with a state government inRichmond, and did not send representatives to Congress. The legislature in Wheeling chose two U.S. Senators for Virginia,John S. Carlile andWaitman T. Willey, who were seated by the Senate.[2] Three U.S. Representatives elected in western districts of Virginia also went to Congress in 1861:Jacob B. Blair,William G. Brown, andKellian V. Whaley.[3][4] In 1861, as one of its first acts, the Restored Government began the process of creating the new state of West Virginia, which was achieved in 1863. The Restored Government of Virginia then moved toAlexandria.
