Nebraska County Countdown: 52 - Kearney Or Kearny - Take Your Pick

Hey, did you guys know there is a Kearney County in Nebraska that is a completely different place than the city of Kearney?

It’s true!

I probably knew this at one point, then I forgot, so I signed up to cover Kearney County when I really wanted to write about the city of Kearney. I realize I shouldn’t admit such simple mistakes as they may make me look like a boob, but I feel that we’ve all gotten to know each other well enough and the vast majority of you are the forgiving type.

Kearney County was named after Fort Kearny.
