Knox County History Knox County was organized by the Territorial Legislature in 1857, and named L'Eau Qui Court, that being the French name for the river named by the Indians Niobrara--both names meaning, in English, Running Water. The name was changed to Knox by a statute passed February 21, 1873, which took effect April 1, 1873. Andreas' History of Nebraska Searching for ancestors that may have been in Nebraska

NEGenWeb was formed June 15, 1996, when Dale
Schneider created the Nebraska Genealogy Project as a part of the USGenWeb Genealogy
Project. At that time, there was very little available on the web for those who were
researching genealogy in Nebraska. Over the next year, volunteers were recruited to
coordinate the web pages for each county. These volunteers were willing to coordinate the
collection of databases and generally oversee the contents of the county web pages, which
would include listing information on where to look in that county for genealogical
research. Contact the volunteer shown on the county page if you have a desire to help or
add your data to the database. You may notice a message on a county page indicating it is
available for adoption. If you would like to adopt one of these counties, please contact
the current coordinator of the page, whose name is listed on their county site, or the
State Coordinator.
