From us genweb:
In February 1784, an act of Georgia Legislature formed and defined Washington County from Indian Lands ceded in 1783. Washington was the ninth county formed in Georgia and is said to be the first in the nation to be named after George Washington. Washington County is known as the "Kaolin Capital of the World" due to the prosperity it has seen over the years from it's rich deposits of the "white gold". In it's early years, the county was much larger and eventually gave up land to form other counties such as Greene, Johnson, Montgomery, Hancock, Jefferson, Emanuel and [[[LAURENS]]].
