Known for: Washington, entrepreneurship, STEM education, and business growth

Daviess County and the City of Washington are growing communities characterized by an entrepreneurial spirit and small-town charm. Robust STEM educational programs and a litany of high-tech and manufacturing jobs attract young professionals and families to the county. West Boggs Lake, Montgomery Ruritan Park, and the Glendale Fish and Wildlife Area provide ample opportunities for fishing, boating, camping, and hunting. Local community festivals featuring art, antiques, and Daviess County Amish-produced goods and services also bring together residents and visitors alike.

Our Story

A can-do attitude has been the backbone of Daviess County since its formal organization in 1817. In 1885, the county raised an astonishing amount of capital to attract a major railroad repair center, quickly becoming a booming railroad county. In the last several decades, Daviess County has significantly expanded its manufacturing base and established WestGate@Crane Technology Park, Indiana’s only multi-county technology park, which offers exciting opportunities for STEM careers. Today, thousands of residents work for growing technology, manufacturing, agriculture, bio-ag, and transportation companies throughout the county's 437 square miles.
