Wilkes County, located in the great state of Georgia, was established in 1777, making it one of the state's original eight counties. Named after British politician and supporter of colonial America, John Wilkes, the county played an important role in early American history. Washington, the county seat, was founded in 1780 and became Georgia's first incorporated town in 1805.

During the Revolutionary War, Wilkes County's residents contributed significantly to the fight for independence, with the Battle of Kettle Creek being one of the most notable conflicts in the area. The victory by American forces at Kettle Creek disrupted British plans to gain control of Georgia and was a significant morale boost for the American Patriots.

The county experienced an economic boom in the 19th century, with the cotton industry driving its growth. However, the Civil War proved devastating to the region, and the local economy took a hit during the Reconstruction Era.

In the 20th century, Wilkes County began diversifying its economy, focusing on agriculture, manufacturing, and new industries. This allowed the region to adapt and grow, even as the textile industry declined.

One fun fact about Wilkes County is that it is affectionately referred to as "Washington-Wilkes" due to its close association with its historic county seat, Washington. Additionally, this region is known for its numerous well-preserved antebellum homes and buildings, which provide a glimpse into the area's rich history.
