==History==
The first permanent European-American settlers in the area were Quakers from North Carolina. They settled about 1806 near the east fork of the Whitewater River, an area including what is today the city of Richmond. Jeptha Turner, the [[first white child]] in the county, was born here in 1806.<ref>{{cite book|title=A Biographical History of Darke County, Ohio: Compendium of National Biography|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=vg3VAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA301|year=1900|publisher=Lewis Publishing Company|page=301}}</ref>

Wayne County was formed in 1811 from portions of Clark and Dearborn counties. It was named for Gen. "Mad" [[Anthony Wayne]], who was an officer during the [[American Revolutionary War|Revolutionary War]]. Wayne is mainly remembered for his service in the 1790s in the [[Northwest Indian War]], which included many actions in Indiana and [[Ohio]]. Randolph County was formed from the northern portion of Wayne County, effective August 1818.

The first county seat was Salisbury, Indiana, a town which no longer exists. It was later moved to [[Centerville, Indiana]] in 1818, where it remained until Richmond was designated as the seat in 1873.

During the antebellum years, Wayne County had a number of stations on the [[Underground Railroad]], a network of blacks and whites who aided refugees from slavery to reach freedom. Levi Coffin and his wife Catharine aided more than 1,000 refugees at their home in Fountain City, now designated as a [[National Historic Landmark]] and State Historic Site significant to the Ohio River National

In the 1920s, Indiana had the strongest [[Ku Klux Klan]] organization in the country, led by Grand Dragons [[D. C. Stephenson]] and [[Walter F. Bossert]]. Its members controlled the state legislature and had an ally in Governor [[Edward L. Jackson|Ed Jackson]].<ref>Indiana State Library, Ku Klux Klan Resources from the Indiana Division, {{cite web |url=http://www.statelib.lib.in.us/www/isl/indiana/Klan.html |title=The Ku Klux Klan in Indiana |access-date=June 5, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090114132753/http://www.statelib.lib.in.us/www/isl/indiana/Klan.html |archive-date=January 14, 2009 }}, URL accessed May 30, 2006</ref> At its height, national membership during the second Klan movement reached 1.5 million, with 300,000 in Indiana.<ref name="state">{{cite web | title =Historical Sketch" in "Ku Klux Klan, Wayne County, Indiana Records, 1916–1933, Collection Guide | publisher =Indiana Historical Society | date =February 2, 2004 | url =http://www.indianahistory.org/our-collections/collection-guides/ku-klux-klan-wayne-county-indiana-records-1916.pdf | access-date =November 5, 2012}}</ref> Records show that Wayne County was home to Whitewater Klan No. 60.<ref name="state"/> Robert Lyons, of Richmond, was national chief of staff for the Klan.<ref>''Klan issue in Democrat race for president''.

==Government==
{{See also|Government of Indiana}}
The county government is a constitutional body, and is granted specific powers by the [[Constitution of Indiana]], and by the [[Indiana Code]].

'''County Council:''' The county council is the fiscal body of the county government and controls all the spending and revenue collection in the county. Representatives are elected from county districts. The council members serve four-year terms. They are responsible for setting salaries, the annual budget, and special spending. The council also has limited authority to impose local taxes, in the form of an income and property tax that is subject to state level approval, excise taxes, and service taxes.<ref name = inc3623>{{cite web|author=Indiana Code|author-link=Indiana Code|url=http://www.in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title36/ar2/ch3.html |title=Title 36, Article 2, Section 3|access-date=September 16, 2008|publisher=IN.gov}}</ref><ref name = inc2102>{{cite web|author= Indiana Code|author-link= Indiana Code|url= http://www.in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title3/ar10/ch2.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20041227171739/http://www.in.gov/legislative/ic/code/title3/ar10/ch2.pdf |archive-date=December 27, 2004 |url-status=live |title= Title 2, Article 10, Section 2 |access-date=September 16, 2008|publisher=IN.gov}}</ref>

'''Board of Commissioners:''' The executive and legislative body of the county is made of a board of commissioners. The commissioners are elected [[at-large]], county-wide, in staggered terms, and each serves a four-year term. Each commissioner must live in one of three districts which border lines are drawn by the Board of Commissioners, who also determine the County Council district boundaries. Redistricting of both bodies's district boundaries are typically completed after the US census is completed, but, unlike the council's districts who are required to  be within a certain standard deviation of population so to create as equally populated districts as possible, the Commissioner districts are not required to be based on population and can factor in other variables such as industry, topography, etc. One of the commissioners, typically the most senior, serves as president. The commissioners are responsible for passing ordinances and conducting the business of the county, including managing the day-to-day functions of the county government and appointing members of the community to boards such as the Board of Zoning Appeals, County Drainage Board, or the County Planning Commission.<ref name = inc3623/><ref name = inc2102/>

'''Court:''' The county maintains a [[small claims court]] that can handle some civil cases. The judge on the court is elected to a term of four years and must be a member of the Indiana Bar Association. The judge is assisted by a constable who is also elected to a four-year term. In some cases, court decisions can be appealed to the state level [[circuit court]].<ref name = inc2102/>

'''County Officials:''' The county has several other elected offices, including [[sheriff]], [[coroner]], [[auditor]], [[treasurer]], [[recorder of deeds|recorder]], [[surveying|surveyor]], and circuit [[court clerk]]. Each of these elected officers serves a term of four years and oversees a different part of county government. Members elected to county government positions are required to declare [[political party|party]] affiliations and to be residents of the county.<ref name = inc2102/>

==Politics==
Wayne County is very Republican, even by the standards of traditionally Republican Indiana. It has not supported a Democrat for president since 1936. Since then, the Democrats have only come reasonably close to winning the county four times. [[Lyndon Johnson]] lost the county by only 87 votes in 1964, [[Bill Clinton]] held the GOP to pluralities during both of his bids, and [[Barack Obama]] came within three percent of carrying the county in 2008.
