Demographics:County QuickFacts: Census Bureau Quick Facts County HistoryPrior to being organized in 1871, the
area which today is Nuckolls County was the scene of some of the most fierce
Indian raids ever recorded in the south central portion of Nebraska. The largest
raid, recorded on Aug. 7, 1864, is said to have stretched from Gage County to
Denver. By 1867, the area was virtually abandoned. By the 1870s the situation
had greatly improved and settlers once again began to inhabit the area. Neighboring Counties:

The history of our nation can be seen as a prolonged struggle to define the relative roles and powers of our governments: federal, state, and local. And the names we've given our counties, our most locally based jurisdictions, reflects the "characteristic
features of our country!"
But age, size and colorful names of our counties isn't the only reason to explore counties' role in American history, or the history of county government itself. In fact, the story of county government reflects the larger meanings of American history. Today's counties are the most flexible, locally responsive and creative governments in the US. They are the most diverse, varying in size, population, geography, and governmental structure. In their politics and policies, they express a 1990's political slogan "Think globally, act locally." |
