Nebraska County Countdown: #1 Douglas County

Here we are, tomorrow is game day. In a little over 24 hours we will be watching the Huskers take the field for the first time in the 2018 season. The final county in our countdown is Douglas County. As of the 2010 census the population of Douglas County was 517,110. The population of Nebraska is 1.2 million, which means it houses over 25 percent of the whole state.

Douglas County is located on the eastern edge of Nebraska and you can sniff the worst state in America from it.

Most people in Nebraska, especially millennials and iGens, say that Omaha is the best place in the state.
