Adams ~ Butler County Nebraska Newspapers, 1894
Nebraska was organized as a territory in
1854 and was admitted as a state in 1867. It has a land area of
77,000 square miles, while its extreme breadth is 415 miles and
length 205 miles. The surface is a rolling prairie and the soil
exceedingly fertile in the eastern part of the State, while the
western part is well adapted to grazing. The State is being
rapidly and thickly populated by a liberal, progressive and
thrifty people. Population 1,058,910.
Since the issuance of our preceding edition there has been the
usual number of newspaper changes in this and other States
mentioned in this work. The several industries throughout the
State have largely increased, and in every branch and direction
show unusual prosperity.
We give a brief description in the following pages of the
several counties, with a tabulated list of the newspapers
published in each.
