Butler County is located in the southeastern region of the great state of Nebraska. It was established on January 26, 1856, but was not officially organized until February 12, 1868. The county was named in honor of David C. Butler, who served as the first governor of Nebraska from 1867 to 1871.
In the early years, the primary settlers in Butler County were of Czech, German, and Irish heritage. The Homestead Act of 1862 played a significant role in attracting settlers to the area by offering 160 acres of land to those willing to develop it. Agriculture has always been the backbone of the county's economic base, with corn, soybeans, and livestock being major contributors.
The county seat, David City, was founded in 1873 and was named after the county's namesake, David C. Butler. Other settlements in the county include Bellwood, Rising City, Octavia, Brainard, and Dwight.
One fun fact about Butler County is that it is home to the longest, straightest railroad line in North America. The Alvo Subdivision of the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway (BNSF) runs 72.1 miles straight, without a curve, from David City to Lincoln, Nebraska. This unique feature signifies the importance of transportation and agriculture in the region's history.
