Saline County is located in the southeast region of the great state of Nebraska. Established on February 25, 1855, the county's name is derived from the salt flats and salt springs in the area. Saline County has played an essential role in Nebraska's history, with its fertile landscape primarily used for agriculture and farming. Covering a total area of 576 square miles, the county seat is Wilber.

In its early history, Saline County was initially home to various Native American tribes, such as the Pawnee, Otoe, and Missouri. The first documented white settlers arrived in the county around 1856. The early settlement period saw the development of towns like Swan City and Atlanta, which were centered around the junction of the Blue and West Blue rivers. Eventually, the Burlington and Missouri River Railroads reached the county, further accelerating its growth.

A fun fact about Saline County is that it is also known as the "Czech Capital of the USA" due to a rich heritage and ongoing influence of Czech American culture. Thousands of Czech immigrants settled in the county in the second half of the 19th century, especially around the town of Wilber. These immigrants established businesses, organizations, and social events that celebrated and preserved their Czech roots. Every year, residents of Saline County and the surrounding area celebrate this rich cultural heritage with the annual Wilber Czech Festival, which features traditional Czech food, music, and dance performances.
