The first permanent settlement was made by Daniel Morgan in 1858. The first county elections were held in October of 1865. Prior to that date Seward County was linked to Lancaster County for judicial purposes due to scant population. Seward, Nebraska was made the county seat by special election in 1867.

The County Board Proceedings, 1867-1971, of Subgroup Three were copied from security microfilm produced for the county in 1971. The State Archives cannot be responsible for the quality of microfilm not produced by our agency. Some pages may be of poor quality on microfilm and copies cannot be made. The Board minutes begin after the records of the County Surveyor on roll #1 of this subgroup.
Subgroup Five, County Surveyor, includes survey volumes of irregular tracts in the county, 1867-n.d. and four plat books for the county dating, c.1867-1954. These records exist on Roll #1 and are immediately followed by the records of Subgroup Three, County Board of Commissioners.
Subgroup Six, Register of Deeds, contains numerical indexes for Township 9 which existed on microfilm with records of Subgroup Three, County Board of Commissioners.
Probate Records, 1872-1976, of Subgroup Seven, County Court, include Estate Books, 1873-1901 and Probate Dockets, 1870-1895, which are restricted to staff use only due to the presence of confidential records in the dockets. Also included in this subgroup are Probate Dockets, 1895-1976; Administrative & Guardianship Dockets, 1872-1949; Justice of the Peace Dockets, 1877-1930; Civil Dockets, 1875-1881 with an index, 1887-1895; and Judge's Dockets, 1869-1913.
