County History

Washington County, in the fertile Mississippi Delta Region, was formed in 1827 from Warren and Yazoo Counties and named for President George Washington. It was one of the numerous counties formed from the so-called “New Purchase”, acquired from the Choctaws by the 1820 treaty of Doak’s Stand. Between 1844 and 1918, Washington surrendered portions of its territory to help form the counties of Issaquena, Bolivar, Sunflower, Sharkey and Humphreys. Greenville, the county seat, has long been one of the largest and most prosperous towns in the State. Other towns include Arcola, Hollandale, Leland and Metcalfe. As of 2000, Washington County's population was 62,977. Adjacent counties are Bolivar County (north), Sunflower County (northeast), Humphreys County (east), Sharkey County (southeast), Issaquena County (south) and Chicot County, Arkansas (west).
