Hitchcock County, Nebraska
Hitchcock County is a part of southwest Nebraska along the Kansas state border. Trenton is the county seat, but Culbertson has the most residents. But what it lacks in size, it makes up for in character.
The Republican River cuts through the county and acts as a lifeline for farmers. Speaking of farming, it’s the backbone of the local economy. Corn and wheat fields stretch to the horizon.
Summers are scorching, winters are bitter. But the locals are used to it. They’re a hardy bunch. The county fair is the highlight of the year. It brings everyone together for some good old-fashioned fun.
