Knox County, Administrative county in northern Nebraska, United States
Knox County is a county in northern Nebraska that covers areas of rolling hills and river valleys shaped by the Missouri River and Niobrara River. The land transitions between elevated terrain and lower areas where water flows through the region.
The area was established in 1857 under the name L'Eau Qui Court before being renamed in 1873. The new name honored Continental Army Major General Henry Knox for his military contributions.
The population of Knox County includes a mix of residents with 87 percent white communities and 10 percent Native American representation.
The Knox County Courthouse in Center handles government services including marriage and birth records for residents and visitors. The courthouse serves as the main location for local administrative needs.
The area includes the Bazile Creek State Wildlife Management Area and sections of Lewis and Clark Lake, which offer protected natural spaces. These preserved lands provide opportunities to see the region's water resources and wildlife habitats firsthand.
