McPherson County, Administrative county in central Kansas, United States
McPherson County spans across 901 square miles of land with varied terrain and connects to multiple neighboring counties through a network of highways.
The county, established in February 1867, received its name from General James McPherson, who served during the American Civil War period.
Three higher education institutions within the county borders provide academic programs and contribute to the regional educational development.
