Dodge County

Dodge County is an administrative county in eastern Nebraska that spans grasslands and farmland. The Elkhorn River flows through the northern section, shaping the landscape with its floodplain and tree-lined banks.

The county was established in 1855 and named after U.S. Senator Augustus C. Dodge of Iowa. Fremont was chosen as the seat of government and became the administrative hub of the region.

Agricultural traditions shape daily life and local celebrations throughout the region. Visitors can witness how farming heritage influences community events and the way people connect to the land.

Multiple city halls are located in North Bend and Scribner, with the main administrative center in Fremont. These scattered locations make it convenient to access local services and information from different parts of the county.

The Fremont Balloon Glow is a striking event where illuminated hot air balloons light up the sky above Nebraska. This colorful gathering brings people together for an experience that stands apart from typical county activities.
