Barnesville is a village in Belmont County, Ohio, United States. It is located in the central portion of Warren Township. The population was 4,008 at the 2020 census. Barnesville is part of the Wheeling metropolitan area.

History

The town was named after James Barnes, who was the first settler. Barnes was born in Montgomery County, Maryland and was married to Nancy Harrison, "an intelligent Quaker lady". Barnes owned a farm in Montgomery County, and later laid out a town there, also known as Barnesville, Maryland, where he operated a country store for a while.

In 1803, he moved to St. Clairsville, Ohio, where he operated a tavern and general store. In 1806, Barnes settled in Warren Township in Belmont County where he cleared forest, built a house, established a tannery and general store and planted orchards. In November 1808, the town of Barnesville was laid out, and four years later, Barnes and his family became permanent residents of the new village. Barnesville was described in 1833 as having six stores and a steam mill.

Barnesville was incorporated as a village in 1835.
