The county includes the cities and villages of Macy, Pender, Rosalie, Thurston, Walthill, and Winnebago.
One historical site is Blackbird Hill, about three miles from Macy and overlooking the Missouri River. The hill is the burial site for Omaha chiefs, including Blackbird, who is said to have been buried upright sitting on his favorite horse.
