About the County
Agricultural heartland with small-town values.
Fayette County occupies a prime position in the heart of Ohio's agricultural belt, covering approximately 431 square miles of gently rolling farmland and small-town communities. The county seat, Washington Court House, is a historic small city that serves as the commercial, governmental, and cultural center for the region. Located along Route 35 — a direct connector between Dayton and Columbus — Fayette County benefits from dual-metro proximity while maintaining the affordability and small-town character that attract families, first-time buyers, and retirees. The county's economy is rooted in agriculture, with some of Ohio's most productive farmland, but manufacturing, logistics, and retail (including the Tanger Outlets in Jeffersonville) provide additional employment. Washington Court House has seen renewed investment in its downtown, with new businesses and restaurants complementing the historic courthouse square. With a population of approximately 28,000, Fayette County offers the kind of space, affordability, and community values that are increasingly difficult to find closer to the metro areas.
