Wabaunsee County, Administrative county in eastern Kansas, United States.
The county spans 800 square miles of land with rolling hills, prairies, and waterways, including Lake Wabaunsee near the town of Eskridge.
Established in 1855, the county carries the name of Potawatomi Chief Waubonsie, with its name deriving from the Potawatomi word meaning dawn of day.
The Beecher Bible and Rifle Church stands as a testament to the county's involvement in the free-state movement during pre-Civil War Kansas.
The county seat of Alma provides administrative services, including tax management, building permits, and regular commission meetings for the 6,877 residents.
During World War II, Lake Wabaunsee housed a German prisoner of war camp where detainees contributed to local agricultural and infrastructure projects.
