Andreas' History of Knox County
Knox County, Nebraska


Knox County History

From Andreas' History of Knox County, 1882

Knox County was organized by the Territorial Legislature in 1857, and named L'Eau Qui Court, that being the French name for the river named by the Indians Niobrara--both names meaning, in English, Running Water. The name was changed to Knox by a statute passed February 21, 1873, which took effect April 1, 1873.
