Germans largely settled Hall. Platte. Madison. Stanton. and Thayer Counties. Thousands of Bohemian immigrants made their new homes in Nebraska. These people. who came from what is now Czechoslovakia. first located near Humboldt in the southeastern corner.of the State. and later moved into Saline and Cuming Counties. Other Bohemian colonies were established around 1870 in Knox. Colfax. and Saunders Counties. . Swedes. of course. are well known and to be found in all sections of Nebraska. Our State has more than its share of Andersons. Swansons. Nelsons. Olsons. and Thompsons. and we are glad of it. The first sizable Swedish community was established at Kearney. and others followed at Saronville.
