The Moneton were a historical Native American tribe from West Virginia.

"[citation needed] The Moneton lived in southern West Virginia, along the Kanawha River.

[4] The first written mention of the Moneton was made by English settler Thomas Batts in 1671.

[1] In 1674, English colonist Abraham Wood sent his servant Gabriel Arthur from Fort Henry in Wheeling, West Virginia to visit local tribes to expand the fur trade.

[5] Arthur visited them and described their capital as "a great town,"[1] which might be Saint Albans or Buffalo, West Virginia.
