Whitman County, rich land of large wheat fields, is located in the Palouse Hills region of southeastern Washington. The Washington Territorial Legislature created Whitman County on November 29, 1871. It was named in honor of the massacred missionary, Marcus Whitman, who had introduced Christianity to this portion of Washington.
