Neosho County, Kansas
Neosho County is in southeastern Kansas. The county seat, Erie, is a small town with a big heart. U.S. Highway 59 and U.S. Highway 169 parallel each other.
The Neosho River runs through the county so this is how it earned its name. And if you’re a fan of the outdoors, don’t miss Lake Parsons.
It’s a mix of small-town life and rural living. If you’re looking for a quiet place with a touch of college-town energy, Neosho County could be a good fit.
