Cedar County, Administrative region in eastern Nebraska, United States.
Cedar County is an administrative region in eastern Nebraska covering agricultural land, small towns, and bordered on the north by the Missouri River. The landscape is dominated by farmland and rural communities spread throughout the area.
The region was officially established as Cedar County in 1855, named after the cedar trees that once covered the territory. This naming reflects the natural landscape that early settlers encountered.
Hartington, the county seat, serves as the gathering place where residents conduct daily business and connect with their community. The town represents the social and administrative heart of the region.
U.S. Highway 20 and U.S. Highway 81 are the main routes crossing the region, connecting to neighboring counties and South Dakota across the Missouri River. These roads make it easy to travel through and beyond the area.
The Audubon Bend Wildlife Area provides habitats for native wildlife along the Missouri National Recreational River. This protected space allows visitors to observe birds and animals in their natural setting.
