Labette County, Kansas

Labette County is in Southeast Kansas, with Oklahoma on our south and one county removed from Missouri to the east. Labette County derived its name from French trapper Pierre La Baette, who lived among the Osage Indians until the mid 1800s. This area was primarily settled by union veterans following the Osage Treaty of 1865. Officially organized March 10, 1867, Labette County has eight cities, with Oswego serving as the county seat.
