A "County Seat" is the administrative center of a county, where the local government offices are located. It typically houses the courthouse, where legal matters are handled, and other essential government services. The county seat is often a city or town that serves as the focal point for political and administrative activities within the county. In many cases, the county seat is also the most populous area in the county, making it a hub for commerce and community events. Residents often visit the county seat for various services, such as obtaining permits or attending public meetings related to local governance.
