Washington County, located in the southwestern region of Alabama, is named after the first President of the United States, George Washington. Established on June 4, 1800, it holds the distinction of being the oldest county in the state, formed under a temporary U.S. government even before the separate Mississippi Territory was created in 1802. The history of human habitation in the area can be traced back to at least 11,000 years ago, as evidenced by the fascinating archeological finds in the nearby Moundville site.
The county had a significant role in Alabama's early development, as it served as a trading center for local crops and goods. Due to its location along the Tombigbee River, the region facilitated the extraction of resources and transportation of goods with ease. The river allowed the fertile soil to produce vast amounts of cotton, which greatly boosted the area's economy in the 19th century. The county saw considerable economic growth, as well as the sad perpetuation of slavery during this period, which ultimately played a part in the Civil War. After the war, the county shifted towards timber and paper manufacturing industries, contributing to the industrial development of the region.
A fun fact about Washington County is its connection to the Pushmataha, a Native American Choctaw Chief who lived in the early 19th century. The county town of McIntosh in Washington County was named after two prominent Choctaw Chiefs from the same period, William McIntosh and Menawa, who were part of the Creek Indian Nation.
