Labette County, Kansas
Labette County is in the southeastern corner of Kansas. With a population of around 19,000, the area is a mix of agriculture, industry, and education.
Oswego is the county seat, but Parsons is the biggest town. It has that small city vibe. There’s a state hospital and a community college, so it’s not totally sleepy.
The county has some nice lakes for fishing. Big Hill Lake is popular for boating. There’s a bit of everything here. Some industry, some farming, some small-town life. And a whole lot of heart.
