Nemaha County

Nemaha County is an administrative division in southeastern Nebraska with its government center in Auburn. The county sits along the Missouri River on its eastern edge and covers rural land with scattered settlements.

The area was established in 1855 by the Nebraska Territorial Legislature, with Auburn chosen as the administrative seat. Since then, it has developed as a farming region shaped by agricultural settlement patterns.

The county keeps its farming roots alive through local fairs and seasonal events that bring people together. You can see this heritage in how the community still celebrates agricultural traditions and gathers for celebrations.

The courthouse in Auburn handles most county services and administrative matters from its downtown location. Visit during regular business hours to take care of paperwork and official transactions.

The county borders the Missouri River, creating a unique geographical relationship with the waterway that shapes how the land is measured and surveyed. This boundary position makes it notable among interior regions for its river connections.
