WASHINGTON COUNTY

a highway, a canal, and later a railroad that helped to open up the frontier and further westward expansion... These treasures and many others secure Washington County's place of honor in American history. Our 458 square miles contain 3 National Parks, 7 State Parks, 14 County Parks, and numerous City and Town Parks. But perhaps our greatest treasures are 24 graceful stone arch bridges built between 1819 and 1863... Established in 1776 and named for then Gen. George Washington, our county's history reflects the history of our nation.
