Nebraska County Countdown: #36 Holt

Welcome to beautiful Holt County! Located in North Central Nebraska, this county was named for Joseph Holt, former US Postmaster General and Secretary of War. Cities include the county seat of O’Neill and the town of Atkinson, along with the villages of Chambers, Ewing, Emmet, Page and Stuart. The county was created in 1862, but wasn’t organized until 1876 because the state legislature required there be over 200 people living in the county before it could do so.

Lubber the Horse

At one time the world’s largest horse, Lubber was born on the Miller Ranch in 1921. He stood 21 hands high and weighed 3000 pounds! That’ll pull a plow.

I’m sure glad I don’t have to pay for hay for him!Irish Festival
