Labette County, Administrative division in Southeast Kansas, United States
Labette County spans 653 square miles of territory, containing eight incorporated cities including Oswego as the county seat and Parsons as its largest municipality.
The county, established in 1867, received its name from LaBette Creek, named after Pierre LaBette, a French-Canadian fur trapper who married into the Osage tribe.
The Carnegie Arts Center in Parsons maintains permanent collections and hosts rotating exhibitions that highlight regional artists and craftspeople throughout the year.
The County Courthouse in Oswego houses essential government offices, including the County Clerk, Appraiser, and Register of Deeds, serving local residents.
The Smith-Hollingsworth-Thomas Log Cabin remains as one of the earliest structures in the region, representing the architectural methods of early settlers.
