Whitman County, located in the great state of Washington, was established on November 29, 1871. It was named in honor of Marcus Whitman, an American physician, missionary, and pioneer who played a significant role in the early settlement of Oregon Territory. The county is situated in southeastern Washington and covers an area of 2,178 square miles.

The history of Whitman County is marked by the presence of various Native American tribes, including the Nez Perce, Palus, and Spokane, who lived in the region long before European-American settlers arrived. The first European-American settlers in the area were members of the Hudson's Bay Company engaged in fur trading during the early 19th century.

With the onset of the Westward Expansion in the United States during the mid-19th century, an increasing number of settlers began moving into the Pacific Northwest. The area that would later become Whitman County played a crucial role in the competing claims of both Great Britain and the United States.

The Whitman Mission, which was founded by Marcus and Narcissa Whitman as part of their missionary work among Native American tribes, holds great historical importance in the development of the county. The mission ended in the tragic Whitman Massacre in 1847, leading to increased hostilities between Native Americans and settlers, and cemented the region's place in the history of the early United States.

Whitman County has an economy historically based on agriculture, as it is part of the Palouse region known for its fertile farmland; the county continues to be a significant contributor in the production of wheat and legumes. Additionally, the county is home to Washington State University, located in its largest city, Pullman, which plays an essential role in the educational, research, and economic development of the region.

Fun Fact: Whitman County is home to the world's largest lentil producer - the Pacific Northwest Farmers Cooperative. This fact is celebrated annually at the National Lentil Festival, which takes place in Pullman, attracting visitors with various events and activities centered around this protein-packed food source.
