Miami County, Administrative county in eastern Kansas, United States.
Miami County spreads across the eastern region of Kansas with a combination of rural landscapes and suburban communities centered around its capital city, Paola.
The establishment of Miami County in 1855 marked a significant milestone in Kansas territorial development, with the construction of its limestone courthouse following in 1898.
The five-member board of county commissioners holds weekly meetings in Paola, maintaining direct engagement with citizens through regular public sessions and community programs.
The county administration building, located opposite the historic courthouse, houses essential departments including community development, commission offices, and public services.
The Miami County Courthouse features a 115-foot tower constructed with Carthage Limestone foundation and maintains its original oak interior from the 19th century.
