Nebraska County Countdown – 72 Chase County – Imperial, Cowboys, And The Lincoln Highway

History can be fun. Cowboys! Track Stars! High School Football Stories!

Chase County was named after Champion S. Chase, who served as mayor of Omaha for seven years and was Nebraska’s first Attorney General. This seems to me to be a weak name for a county. Maybe they should have named it “Champion County” instead, then they could have perhaps have all the Jackmans from Grant move to their county and had a completely different future.

Chase County was separated from Hayes County by the Nebraska legislature on February 27, 1873, although the county was not organized until 1886.
