Buffalo County is one of Nebraska’s earliest counties, created in 1855. It was named after, well, buffalo. Yeah, not that inspired.
Buffalo County’s seat is the city Kearney. It includes the towns of Gibbon and Ravenna, as well as the villages of Amherst, Elm Creek, Miller, Pleasanton, Riverdale, and Shelton.
One of the neater things for the history buff(alo) is The Archway, near Kearney.
