Antelope County, County in northeastern Nebraska, United States
Antelope County stretches across 859 square miles of Nebraska terrain, containing several small towns including Neligh, Elgin, and Clearwater.
The county received its name in 1871 when early settlers encountered and hunted pronghorns in the area, mistakenly identifying them as antelopes.
Local residents maintain strong agricultural traditions through county fairs, harvest festivals, and community gatherings that connect multiple generations.
The county infrastructure includes U.S. Highway 20, U.S. Highway 275, and multiple state highways that connect residents to neighboring urban centers.
The Ashfall Fossil Beds within the county contain numerous Miocene fossils, providing evidence of prehistoric animals preserved in volcanic ash.
