Registered Farm Names, Washington County, Nebraska
About 1910 the Legislature of Nebraska enacted a law ordering
the county clerks of the state to keep in their offices a record
book in which, for a small fee, any land-owner in the county
might select a name for their farm, providing it was not already
selected by another within the county-no two farms in a county
to have the same name. In this county the following have taken
advantage of this wise provision:
