Buffalo County, County seat in central Nebraska, United States.
Buffalo County spans 975 square miles of Nebraska terrain, incorporating both the Platte River Valley and rolling hills of the Great Plains region.
The county, established in 1855 and organized in 1870, received its name from the large bison herds that roamed these grasslands during that period.
The Watson Ranch, extending across 8,000 acres from Platte River Valley to the northern hills, marked the agricultural development of Buffalo County through the 1900s.
The county administration provides digital services through its website, including access to board meetings, commissioner agendas, and department information for residents.
Buffalo County uses the prefix number 9 on Nebraska license plates, reflecting its position as the ninth county in vehicle registration numbers in 1922.
