The area which became Adams County, Nebraska, was, early in its history, the focal point of two distinct westward migrations. The first began soon after 1830 when the unorganized area was traversed by gold seekers and immigrants on their way to Oregon. This phase of the migration reached its height during the California gold rush.
The second distinct phase of the westward movement began in 1869 and led to permanent settlement of the area. Although settlers began to move into the county in 1869, settlement did not begin in earnest until 1871. Settlement was substantially aided by not only the post-civil war movement of soldiers to the west, but also the railroad. The principal railroads involved were the Burlington and the Saint Joseph and Denver City which completed their railroad tracks through the county in 1871 and 1872 respectively.
Although Juniata was selected as county seat in 1871, the site was relocated at Hastings in 1878 as a result of its convenient location at the junction of the above railroads.
Adams County was named in honor of John Adams (1735-1826), second President of the United States.
