February 9, 1796 — Greene County was established when Washington County was divided into two Counties through an act of the Legislature. The southern portion became Greene County, named after General Nathanael Greene and consisted of 578 square miles. Waynesburg, the county seat, named for Major General Anthony Wayne, was laid out in 1796, and incorporated as a borough on January 29, 1816.
Greene County is located in the southwestern corner of Pennsylvania and is considered "the Cornerstone of the Keystone State." Greene County is 89.2 percent rural with a population of about 40,000+ residents and a land area of 578 square miles. Waynesburg, the county seat, is located at Exit 14 of Interstate 79, about 60 miles south of Pittsburgh. From the majestic rolling hills to the energetic wildlife, to the magnificence of each passing season ... Greene County has it all and it a great place to live!
