[edit]Wondering how to edit this U.S. County Entry?
The WikiProject U.S. Counties standards might help.
Founded
[edit]Based on [1], Northumberland County was established in 1648, and it was split into Northumberland and Westmoreland Counties five years later. That gives an approximate year of 1653. --Asacan 05:23, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for File:Westmoreland Seal.jpg
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
File:Westmoreland Seal.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Origin of the name
[edit]Does anyone happen to know how Westmoreland came to be called that? Was it named for Westmorland County in the far north of England, and, if so, what was the connection? Thanks in advance for any information! MarmadukePercy (talk) 22:00, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
