Welcome

Welcome to Seward County Nebraska, home of America’s official “4th of July Small Town U.S.A.” celebration! We are enthusiastic about this area, and we encourage you to experience the “Spirit of Seward County.”

Seward County includes 576 square miles – 571 being land and 4.5 square miles being water. Our county was settled when people started moving west and discovered the fertile land along the beautiful Big Blue River, Lincoln Creek, Plum Creek, Middle Creek, Beaver Creek and more tributaries. We are intersected by Interstate 80, and Highway 34 and 15. Seward County was started in 1867 in the same year Nebraska became a State. We are a county of approximately 17,000 people and 10 communities.

Through a tremendous amount of commitment and cooperation, Seward County enjoys quality education systems, up-to-date medical services, and great programs for both youth and senior citizens. It is a pleasure to browse the little shops in all of the communities found in Seward County offering a wide variety of goods and services.
