The county was named after Genesee County New York, which in turn comes from the Seneca word Gen-nis'-hee-yo, meaning "Beautiful Valley". A major attraction for visitors is Crossroads Village, a living history village north of Flint.
Genesee County is noted for having had the fossil of an ancient whale known as Balaenoptera Lacepede unearthed during quarry work and estimated at 11,000 years old.
