Summary
Saline County was organized in 1867. Swan City was the first county seat, a position it held until 1871 when Pleasant Hill gained that designation. In 1877 another election brought the county seat to Wilber. The following year a courthouse was built. Despite its poor condition, the replacement courthouse was not assured until 1927. Construction began the following year and the new courthouse opened in 1929.
