As many of the region's early settlers had emigrated from Ireland, Dublin takes its name from that home country's capital. Laurens County obtained most of its territory from Wilkinson County in 1807, though the part east of Dublin, the county seat, sat in Washington County until 1811. The county's name commemorates Colonel John Laurens of South Carolina, aide-de-camp to General George Washington and son of the president of the Continental Congress.
