Lincoln County is just north of my home county, Frontier. If there’s one thing I’ve learned from doing this county series it’s that I grew up in the county with by far the worst courthouse in the state.
Lincoln County was established in 1866, and I shouldn’t have to tell you who it was named after.
North Platte is the county seat.
Other towns include Sutherland, Wellfleet, Wallace, Maxwell, Brady, and Hershey. Every one of these towns figured in my life some way or another.
Wellfleet is a tiny little town south of North Platte.
