Stanton County, County in eastern Nebraska, United States
Stanton County spans across 431 square miles of rolling hills and farmland, intersected by the Elkhorn River flowing through its central region.
Initially named Izard County in 1856, the territory was renamed in 1862 to honor Edwin M. Stanton, Secretary of War during Abraham Lincoln's presidency.
The county maintains strong agricultural traditions with numerous farms operating throughout its territory, reflecting Nebraska's rural heritage and farming practices.
The county seat of Stanton provides administrative services to residents, while U.S. Highway 275 and several Nebraska state highways connect the region.
The county's population density of 15 people per square mile creates substantial spaces between settlements, contributing to its agricultural character.
