History

Formed in 1858 from Buffalo County

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

Hall County was created by Nebraska Territory on November 4, 1858, from Buffalo County and non-county area. The county was named after Augustus Hall. In 1871, Hall exchanged territory with Adams County and lost land to the creation of Howard County.

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