Merrick County, Nebraska

A Proud Member of The Genealogy Trails Family

Merrick County is located in the valley of the Platte, bounded by Nance on the north, the Platte River separating Polk
and Hamilton Counties, on the east and south, Hall and Howard on the west. Located where it is, almost seventeen
hundred feet above sea level, Merrick County, like all of Central Nebraska is favored with a good, healthful climate.
Twice within the history of the county great loss has resulted from droughts; but as a rule, the climate is favorable
to vegetation. The absence of all swamp lands make this area particularly favorable to the cure of fever
and ague, and all malarial diseases.

We regret that we are unable to perform personal research.
