Summary
Gage County, located in southeast Nebraska, was formally established in 1856 with Beatrice becoming the county seat the following year. Despite this early beginning a courthouse was still lacking as late as 1870. About this time the first courthouse was constructed and used until 1889. After voters passed a $100,000 bond issue for a new facility, construction began in 1890. In 1892 the Richardsonian Romanesque style building opened its doors.

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.
