The population was 942 at the 2010 census. Cyrus A. Rupert first came to Greenbrier County, West Virginia (Virginia) about 1829 when he was seventeen years old. Cyrus, the seventh of eleven children, was born at Point Pleasant, Virginia on October 7, 1812. His parents were Henry Rupert and Naomi Henkle Rupert. Apparently, Cyrus chose to go to Greenbrier County to be with his brothers, Gideon and Paul, who were running a general store at Clintonville. Cyrus' father, Henry, died in 1835 and most of the family, including Gideon, then migrated westward to Pekin, Illinois. Paul moved to Louisville, Kentucky, but Cyrus chose to stay in Greenbrier County. Why Cyrus and his brothers came to Greenbrier County is not known. However, there were Henkles in the area and were possibly related to their mother.{{Citation needed|date=August 2014}} Cyrus became friends with Andrew McClung and it is probably through him that Cyrus began to acquire property near the mouth of Big Clear Creek. This property became the basis for a settlement that would later become Rupert, West Virginia.{{Citation needed|date=August 2014}}[4] GeographyRupert is located at {{coord|37|57|52|N|80|41|17|W|type:city}} (37.964413, -80.688171).[5] According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|0.79|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, of which, {{convert|0.77|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is land and {{convert|0.02|sqmi|sqkm|2}} is water.[6] Demographics{{US Census population|1950= 952 |1960= 921 |1970= 1027 |1980= 1276 |1990= 1104 |2000= 940 |2010= 942 |estyear=2017 |estimate=919 |estref=[7] |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[8] }} 2010 censusAs of the census[9] of 2010, there were 942 people, 431 households, and 243 families residing in the town.
