About Westmoreland

Westmoreland serves as the county seat of Pottawatomie County, situated in the rolling countryside just northeast of Tuttle Creek Lake. The town got its start in the 1850s as a welcome rest stop along the Oregon Trail, where pioneers paused to water their teams at a local spring. Over time, that trail stop grew into a steady agricultural community centered around its historic courthouse square.

Today, Westmoreland offers a quiet, neighborly pace of life that appeals to people looking for space and a true small-town feel. Families benefit from having Westmoreland Elementary right in town as part of the Rock Creek school district, and recreation at Tuttle Creek State Park is only a short drive away. It remains a peaceful prairie community with easy commutes to Manhattan and Wamego.
