About Adams County
Adams County lies on the plains of south-central Nebraska between the Platte valley and the Little Blue River. Hastings, the county seat, is the largest city in the region; the villages are Juniata and Kenesaw along US 6/34, Prosser to the north, and Holstein, Roseland and Ayr along NE 74 in the south. Smaller places include Hansen, Assumption, Pauline, Ingleside and the ghost town of Hayland. The county borders Hall County on the north, Hamilton on the northeast, Clay on the east, Webster on the south, Kearney on the west and Buffalo on the northwest.
The county was created in 1867 and organized on December 12, 1871, with Juniata as the seat. In 1872 the St. Joseph & Denver City Railroad crossed the Burlington seven miles east of Juniata, and the new town of Hastings won the county seat in 1877; the records moved in 1878. Six Pony Express and stage stations stood along the Little Blue route across the county in 1860–61. Kool-Aid was invented in Hastings in 1927, and in World War II the Navy built its largest inland ammunition depot there. The county has 22 National Register listings, including the Burlington depot, Hastings College and the Thirty-Two Mile Station site.

Adams County at a Glance
Adams County, Nebraska — created February 16, 1867, organized December 12, 1871, and named for President John Adams. County seat Hastings. Population 31,205 in 2020, close to its 2010 peak of 31,364. 388 listings across 12 towns.
The county seat was settled by a railroad and a refusal. Juniata, the first seat, voted down bonds for the St. Joseph & Denver City in 1872, and the railroad crossed the Burlington seven miles east instead, on Walter Micklen’s homestead. Hastings, platted that October and named for railroad contractor Col. Thomas D. Hastings, won the county seat in 1877 after a five-year fight; the records left Juniata on September 27, 1878.
Getting there: US 6 and US 34 cross the county east–west, and US 281 runs north–south through Hastings, carrying US 34 north on the Tom Osborne Expressway to I-80 at Grand Island. NE 74 crosses the south. I-80 itself stays north of the county. Central Time.
Two Hastings stories went national. Edwin Perkins sold a bottled drink concentrate called Fruit Smack until, in 1927, he took the water out and sold the powder as Kool-Ade, ten cents a packet, later a nickel; he moved to Chicago in 1931 and sold the brand to General Foods in 1953. In 1942 the Navy began its largest inland ammunition depot on nearly 49,000 acres of Adams and Clay County farmland; about 10,000 people worked there by V-J Day, filling shells that made up nearly 40 percent of the Navy’s ordnance at one point, and a September 1944 explosion killed nine. Hastings was named an American World War II Heritage City in 2023.
For visitors: the Hastings Museum, which calls itself the largest municipal museum between Chicago and Denver; the 1902 Burlington depot, still an Amtrak stop; Kool-Aid Days in August; and the Thirty-Two Mile Station site southwest of town, a Pony Express home station in 1860–61. Born or raised here: Kool-Aid inventor Edwin Perkins (who moved to Hastings in 1920), actress Sandy Dennis (born in Hastings, raised in Kenesaw), Interior Secretary Fred A. Seaton and composer Neal Hefti.
