Washington County was established from a portion of Escambia County in 1825 and named for George Washington, first U.S. president.
Washington County is in northwest Florida, north of Panama City, and is bordered by Walton, Holmes, Jackson, and Bay counties. The county has 26 square miles of water. The average January temperature is 52.8 degrees F, and the average August temperature is 80.8 degrees F. The average annual rainfall is 65.70 inches.
When Washington County was created in 1825, the area contained only about 100 families. Most of these people were frontier farmers, although a few were engaged in other activities, particularly along the Gulf of Mexico Coast.
Soon after the site decision was made, the men named the town Chipley in honor of the railroad builder. As the town developed, however, its northern and eastern sections spread into Jackson County. That created problems, particularly for law enforcement and school officials, and that led to a border adjustment in 1915 that gave Chipley more Washington County "elbow room."
