County Farm Names of Dodge County, Nebraska

Since 1910-11 there has been a provision in the Nebraska laws that each county clerk in the state shall be provided with a record book in which shall be recorded the name selected by the owner for his farm, and with it shall be a description as to location, section, township and range. No two persons can claim the same farm name. The fee in Dodge County for recording "farm names" is $1.00.
