Cheyenne County, County in western Nebraska, United States.
Cheyenne County is an administrative division in western Nebraska defined by open plains and farmland. The area spans flat terrain with low population density across its expanse.
The county was established in 1871 and named after the Cheyenne Native American tribe inhabiting these lands. Railroad development later connected the area to broader transportation networks.
Agricultural traditions shape how people live and work across the region today. The landscape reflects generations of farming families who have built their lives here.
Interstate 80 and US Highways 30 and 385 pass through the county linking it to surrounding areas. Visitors should expect long stretches between towns and plan accordingly.
The county received number 39 in Nebraska's license plate system based on vehicle registrations in 1922. This lower number reflects how sparsely settled the region was at that time.
