Washington County, located in the great state of Indiana, was founded on December 21, 1813, as Indiana's 10th county. The county was named in honor of the first President of the United States, George Washington. The county seat, Salem, was established in 1814 and remains the governmental hub for the region.
This area of Indiana, originally inhabited by Indigenous peoples, was predominantly unsettled by Europeans until after the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which ended the American Revolutionary War. The region then witnessed a gradual influx of European-American settlers in the early 1800s, primarily from North Carolina, Kentucky and Virginia.
The fertile lands of Washington County allowed for strong agriculture-based communities to arise, with corn, wheat, and livestock farming being the primary economic drivers. Over time, industries diversified, and by the mid-20th century, manufacturing had become the dominant economic sector.
Fun Fact: Wellspring of the Blue River, one of Indiana's most scenic rivers, is located in Washington County. The river originates from a spring on a farm near Salem and flows for approximately 57 miles, offering beautiful and serene landscapes for canoeing, fishing, and nature enthusiasts.
