History
Formed in 1843 from Andrew County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Nodaway County was created from Non-County Area 31 and initially attached to Andrew County for civil and military purposes. The county is named after the Nodaway River. Nodaway exchanged territory with neighboring Atchison County multiple times between 1845 and 1861, and lost territory to Worth County in 1863.
