Washington County was organized under its present name in 1784. It was originally included in the counties of Albany and Charlotte (no longer in existence) and included a part of Vermont. Washington County is bounded on the north and east by Vermont, on the south by Rensselaer Co., NY, and on the west by Saratoga and Warren Counties. © 2006, G.A. Jackson; All rights reserved.
