Gage County (Nebraska, USA)
The first Mennonites to buy land in this county were 12 Prussian Mennonite families of Mount Pleasant, Iowa, who settled in Gage County in early 1877. They obtained good quality unimproved land for five to six dollars per acre. In 1878 another group of 34 families settled here, and in 1884, 10 families from Russia. Other families have migrated to the county from Germany and Russia since these early settlements, but not in large numbers.
