== Fun facts ==
* Like most other majority-minority counties in the South, Washington County has primarily backed Democratic Party candidates for most of its history. Democratic margins of victory in presidential elections were far greater prior to 1964, but the county has only failed to back a Democratic presidential candidate five times in its history. However, no candidate of any party since Bill Clinton in 1996 has managed to win the county by a margin of 1,000 votes or greater.
* Davisboro's population is adjusted by the Washington State Prison being within city limits.
* The Hamburg State Park is located in the northeastern part of the county.
* The 1933 short story The People's Choice by Erskine Caldwell is set in Washington County, where the story's protagonist is a popular local politician elected again and again as the county's tax assessor.
* The biography of one of the main characters (Grant Alexander) in the 2011 console game "X-Men: Destiny" states that they were born in Sandersville, Georgia.
* Warthen has been declared a historic site, and inscribed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Warthen Historic District.
