Summary
Sarpy is among the oldest counties in the state and was organized in 1857. Bellevue was the original county seat, but this designation came to Papillion in 1875. Following the change to Papillion, a rather modest brick courthouse was constructed. By 1921 it was deteriorating and deemed inadequate. In that same year voters approved a bond issue for a new building. Construction began in 1922 and in 1923 the Classical Revival-style courthouse was completed.
