Howard County, Administrative county in central Nebraska, United States
Howard County encompasses 576 square miles of rolling hills and agricultural lands, with the Loup River system flowing through its territory.
The county, established in 1871, received its name from Civil War General Oliver Otis Howard and designated St. Paul as its administrative center.
Agriculture shapes the daily life of Howard County residents, with farms dotting the landscape and contributing to Nebraska's agricultural production.

Three branches of the Loup River system converge within Howard County, creating a network of waterways that define its natural geography.
