History
Formed in 1855 from Jones County
An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.
Saline County was created by Nebraska Territory from the now-extinct Jones County on March 16, 1855, though it was not fully organized at that time. The county was fully organized on February 18, 1867.
