== Fun facts ==
* On November 15, 1995, Giles County received minor notoriety after a shooting occurred at Richland High School in the community of Lynnville. The incident was when senior student Jamie Rouse shot two teachers and one female student in the north entrance of the school. Teacher Carolyn Foster and student Diane Collins were killed, and teacher Carolyn Yancey was wounded in the incident. Rouse was convicted of the shooting and sentenced to life in prison. Stephen Abbott, a senior student, was sentenced to 40 years in prison for his role in the shooting, but was released in January 2014. Abbott drove Rouse to Richland High School that morning, knowing of Rouse's intentions to shoot teachers there.
* Giles County was heavily pro-secession during the Civil War like most of Middle Tennessee.
* On November 19, 1863, during the Civil War, Confederate scout Sam Davis was captured at Minor Hill. He was taken to Pulaski, where he was executed eight days later. A monument to Davis now stands in Minor Hill at the site where he was captured.
* Noted gospel song book publisher James David Vaughan published his first song book in Minor Hill in 1900. Vaughan and three of his brothers performed as a gospel quartet throughout the region.
* While Giles County has turned overwhelmingly Republican over the last 15 years, it was strongly Democrat through most of the 20th century.
