Welcome to beautiful Holt County! Located in North Central Nebraska, this county was named for Joseph Holt, former US Postmaster General and Secretary of War. Cities include the county seat of O’Neill and the town of Atkinson, along with the villages of Chambers, Ewing, Emmet, Page and Stuart. The county was created in 1862, but wasn’t organized until 1876 because the state legislature required there be over 200 people living in the county before it could do so.
