Platte County, Missouri

Platte County is in the northwestern corner of Missouri, just north of Kansas City. It’s got a bit of everything. Cities, suburbs, farmland. The Missouri River cuts right through it.

There’s lots of history here. Lewis and Clark camped in what’s now Platte County on their famous expedition. These days, it’s growing fast. People like the schools. There’s good shopping too.

Zona Rosa is popular. Outdoorsy types love Weston Bend State Park. It’s a great spot for hiking and fishing. Kansas City International Airport is here too, which is handy.
