In 1779, during the Revolutionary War, Burke Jail was the scene of a battle between the British (led by Thomas Brown and Daniel McGirt) and the victorious Americans (John Twiggs and William Few).
Although European Americans lived in the area before the Revolutionary War, the town was not laid out until 1783. The city was officially incorporated in 1883 as Waynesborough. The name was changed to Waynesboro sometime after. It developed as the trading and government center of the county, and is the site of the county courthouse and jail.
President George Washington spent the night of May 17, 1791, in Waynesboro, having gone six miles "out of our way" to visit. A stone monument on Liberty Street marks the historical site; it stands in front of a business.
On December 4, 1864, the Civil War Battle of Waynesboro was fought just south of the town. Forces under Union General Judson Kilpatrick prevented troops led by Confederate General Joseph Wheeler from interfering with Union General William T. Sherman's campaign to destroy a wide swathe of the South on his march to Savannah, Georgia, and the Atlantic Ocean.
