Nebraska County Countdown: #54 Pawnee County

The fire heard around the county

We are currently 54 days with football. So we will commemorate such a great day by reviewing our next county in Nebraska. Pawnee County.

Named after the Pawnee Native American Indian Tribe, the Pawnee County seat is creatively named Pawnee City. I assume Pawnee County gave the idea to the state of New Mexico that you really do not have to be super creative in picking your “capitol.”

Pawnee County was established in 1854. That was the same year as the Nebraska-Kansas Act. The Nebraska-Kansas act was passed to enshrine the superiority of the Nebraska football team over the Kansas football team. Or something like that.
