Hayes County, located in the great state of Nebraska, was officially established on February 19, 1877. The county was named in honor of the 19th President of the United States, Rutherford B. Hayes, who was in office at the time of the county's creation. The county spans an area of 713 square miles and is situated in the southwestern region of the state. The official county seat is Hayes Center.

The development of Hayes County was largely influenced by the influx of settlers brought about by the Homestead Act of 1862. These early settlers were mostly ranchers and farmers influenced by the availability of land through the government's land program. Ranching and farming continued to be the primary economic activities for the residents of the county for many years.

One fun fact about Hayes County is that it's home to some fascinating geological formations, especially in two areas known as "Mitten Rock" and "Hayes Canyon".
