Jefferson County is located in the southeastern part of the great state of Nebraska, United States. Established in 1856 and named after President Thomas Jefferson, the county played an essential role in the country's westward expansion. The area primarily saw the establishment of agricultural activities and the construction of the Pony Express route, which passed through the southern part of the county.

The county seat, Fairbury, was founded in 1869 and became an important rail hub when the St. Joseph and Grand Island Railroad Company built a railroad through the region in 1871 1872. The railroad significantly impacted the development of the county, leading to an increase in trade, commerce, and population growth.

Established in 1857 as a Pony Express and stagecoach station, Rock Creek Station played a significant role in the Western migration during the 1800s. It was also the location of one notable event known as the Wild Bill Hickok-McCanles Gang shootout, which occurred on July 12, 1861.
