When Richmond County was formed in 1692, this place became the county seat and was known as Richmond County Courthouse. The present courthouse building was erected in 1748-49. The village was renamed Warsaw about 1846 in sympathy with the Polish struggle for liberty. It was the home of Congressman William A. Jones, advocate of Philippine independence.
