Webster County

Webster County

When Webster County was organized, Red Cloud was voted the county seat at the first county election on April 19, 1871. The election was held in the dugout of Silas Garber, Red Cloud's founder and Nebraska's Governor from 1875-1879. Today, Red Cloud remains the county seat and the local courthouse provides numerous employment opportunities for residents of Red Cloud, Guide Rock, and the surrounding area. There are many wonderful places to visit and shop throughout Webster County and we wholeheartedly encourage you to do so.
