It is bounded on the north by Marshall and Nemeha counties, on the east by Jackson and a small part of Shawnee counties; Waubansee county to the south, and by Riley county on the south and western borders. The county seat is Westmoreland, which was voted on in 1882. Its name was derived from the Pottawatomie tribe.
