Summary
Seward County was organized in 1865. Milford was selected as the first county seat, but Seward was awarded that distinction in an 1871 election. The first courthouse in Seward was a frame building that soon proved inadequate. In 1904 a bond issue passed to help finance a new courthouse. Construction began the following year and in 1907 the Classical Revival-style courthouse was completed.

About the National Register of Historic Places
The National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) is the country’s official list of historically significant properties. To be eligible for the NRHP a property must generally retain their historic appearance, be at least 50 years old, and have the potential to be documented as historically or architecturally significant at either the local, state, or national level. The National Register of Historic Places is a National Park Service program administered by the Nebraska State Historical Society for the state of Nebraska.
