Washington Court House, County seat in Fayette County, Ohio.
Washington Court House extends across 8.80 square miles of land along Paint Creek, featuring both residential neighborhoods and commercial districts within its boundaries.
Virginia veterans of the American Revolution received this land as payment for their military service, with Edward Smith Sr. and his family becoming the first settlers in 1810.
The Fayette County Courthouse square holds multiple annual celebrations, including the Scarecrow Festival with music performances, food vendors, and community activities.
The city operates two public school districts, Washington Court House City School District and Miami Trace Local School District, serving the educational needs of local students.
The courthouse doors maintain the original bullet holes from the 1894 riot, when five people died during an attempted lynching incident outside the Fayette County Courthouse.
