Osceola

Osceola is the county seat of Polk County, Nebraska, sitting near the geographic center of the county in east-central Nebraska. Founded in 1871 and incorporated as a village in 1881, the city serves as Polk County's civic and governmental hub, home to the Polk County Courthouse and the Polk County Historical Museum.

With a population of 875 at the 2020 Census, Osceola blends small-town charm with a notable political legacy — the city counts several Nebraska and Wyoming governors among its native sons and residents. Its historic downtown and courthouse square remain the center of Polk County life.
