Cuming County

Cuming County is an administrative county in northeastern Nebraska that encompasses farmland, rural communities, and local infrastructure. West Point functions as its county seat, housing the main government offices and serving as the region's central hub.

Cuming County was established in 1855 and organized in 1857, receiving its name from Thomas B. Cuming, who served as Nebraska's territorial governor. The region subsequently developed as a farming area in the state's agricultural landscape.

The county is shaped by farming practices that have defined the community and its way of life for generations. Working the land remains central to how people here connect with their surroundings and with each other.

The county court in West Point serves as the main administrative center for legal and governmental matters in the region. Visitors can contact local officials or stop by during business hours to obtain information about services and resources available in the county.

Vehicle registrations in this county carry a distinctive number derived from historical registration data collected more than a century ago. This numbering system reflects an early organizational practice that persists in vehicle documentation today.
