Official Website

Knox County was organized by the Territorial Legislature in 1857, and named L'Eau Qui Court, that being the French name for the river named by the Ponca Niobrara—both names meaning, in English, Running Water. The name was changed to Knox, named for U.S. Army General Henry Knox, by a statute passed February 21, 1873, which took effect April 1, 1873.
