History*
Taken from Wilkinson County in 1807 and absorbing part of Washington County in 1811, Laurens County was named in honor of Colonel John Laurens, an aide-de-camp to General George Washington.

Dublin, a city in Laurens County, was named at the request of an Irishman, Jonathan Sawyer, who donated the land for the town after stipulating its name. He wanted to please his wife, who was from Dublin, Ireland.

There are several festivals in Laurens County, the biggest is the two-week long St. Patrick's Festival in Dublin.
