== Fun facts ==
* For the most part, Washington, the biggest town in the county, doesn't offer a whole lot. It has a Casey's, a couple of dollar stores, a brewery, a small hotel, a few gas stations, a fairgrounds with a speedway, a Gambino's Pizza and a couple of other businesses, but that's about it. For the most part, unless you live there, it's mostly a place to stop and gas up, go to the bathroom, stock on on supplies or eat. Boring, but if you're looking for something along a trip, it's a bit convenient.
* Washington County has not been hit by a tornado of F4 or F5 magnitude since 1965. The last EF3 in the county was in 2011.
* Hanover is a popular destination for deer hunting.
* In 2010, the Keystone-Cushing Pipeline (Phase II) was constructed north to south through Washington County, with much controversy over tax exemption and environmental concerns (if a leak ever does occur).
