Creation of Washington County, North Carolina
This map shows North Carolina as it existed in 1791, before the creation of Washington County. Â Note the size and position of Washington’s parent, Tyrrell (Ty) County.
This map shows Washington (Was) County in 1799, after it was created from Tyrell County. This is approximately the shape of Washington County today.
