History

Formed in 1855 from Burt County, Blackbird County and Dodge County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Cuming County was created by Nebraska Territory from Burt County, though the original boundary description was ambiguous and created overlaps with Blackbird, Burt, and Dodge Counties. The county was named after Thomas B. Cuming. Its boundaries were adjusted multiple times between 1856 and 1873, with gains and losses to Burt, Dodge, Stanton, and the Omaha Indian Reservation.

Boundary changes from the Newberry Library, Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
