 | | Knox County was organized by the Territorial Legislature in 1857, and named L'Eau Qui Court, that being the French name for the river named by the Indians Niobrara--both names meaning, in English, Running Water. |
 | | Knox County is bounded on the north by the Niobrara and Missouri rivers, and on the east by Cedar, on the south by Pierce and Antelope, and on the west by Holt County. |
 | | Knox County has been represented in the Legislature by the following gentlemen: Senate, J. Perkins, elected in 1880; House of Representatives, James Tufts, elected in 1859; R. Hagaman, in 1861; Kelley W. Frazer, in 1867 D. Quimby, in 1872; T. Hullihen, in 1876; and B. Shelley, in 1878. |
