From Wikipedia, uncited:

"The original name of the town was Richmond Courthouse. In 1830 the town's name changed to Warsaw. A number of other small towns in the United States changed their names to Warsaw at this time (Warsaw, Kentucky for instance), all as a result of sympathy in the United States for the November Uprising in Poland. Because Richmond Courthouse was still unincorporated in 1830, it is unclear who was responsible for the change of name to Warsaw."
