Greene County, Pennsylvania

In our many communities, as well as in our county seat of Waynesburg, folks pass you on the street and call you by name. Friends chat on the courthouse steps or at the local grocery store. But the high-speed connection to the world is alive and well here and can be accessed at a moment's notice. The best of both worlds can be found in our communities, with a small-town atmosphere and a sense of belonging to a community. We welcome visitors and newcomers with open arms and quickly become old friends.

Greene County Song

Words and Music by James "Fuzzy" Randolph — composed in 1976 for the National Bicentennial and dedicated to all those who love and preserve Greene County's history.  On June 5, 2008, the Greene County Board of Commissioners proclaimed a Greene County Song, and presented Mr. Randolph with a distinguished service to Greene County award.
Oh The County of Greene with its high rolling hills; Do you love it enough to share all of its thrills: Look to the sunset, wherever you are; you'll take Greene County with you, no matter how far.
