Furnas County is located in the great state of Nebraska and was established on February 27th, 1873. Named after American Civil War General Robert W. Furnas, the county is situated in southwestern Nebraska and covers approximately 721 square miles of land.

The historical background of Furnas County primarily involves settlement and the development of agriculture. In the late 19th century, settlers, primarily from eastern states, began to establish homesteads and farms across the county. The fertile soil and availability of water from rivers and streams facilitated agricultural growth, leading to prosperous farming communities. The primary crops grown during this period were corn, wheat, and other grains, which remain important crops in Furnas County today.

The construction of railroads had a significant impact on the development of Furnas County, enabling farmers to transport their goods to markets more easily. The Burlington & Missouri River Railroad (later known as the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad) connected Furnas County to other parts of Nebraska and the broader United States in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Throughout the 20th century, Furnas County maintained a primarily agricultural economy. As farming techniques improved and the agricultural industry modernized, the population of Furnas County has slowly declined, a trend observed in many rural areas throughout the Great Plains region.

A fun fact about Furnas County is that it is home to the Republican River State Recreation Area, a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy fishing, boating, hiking, and hunting. The recreation area is located adjacent to the Republican River and provides opportunities for visitors to experience the region's natural beauty while enjoying a range of recreational activities.
