Summary

Dodge County was established in 1856. Fontenelle was named temporary county seat, but Fremont won the county seat designation in 1860. In 1867 the county built the first courthouse, a two-story brick structure. In December 1887 fire severely damaged this building. As a result, county residents approved a bond issue in 1888 for a new courthouse. Dedicated in 1890, this building also fell victim to fire in 1915. The third and current courthouse was constructed on the same site as the others. This Classical Revival-style building was formally dedicated in 1918.
