Chase County is a county located in the U.S. state of Nebraska. As of the 2010 census, the population was 3,966.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/31/31029.html )〕 Its county seat is Imperial.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 In the Nebraska license plate system, Chase County is represented by the prefix 72 (it had the 72nd-most vehicles registered in the state when the license plate system was established in 1922). ==History== Chase County was named after Champion S. Chase, who served as mayor of Omaha for seven years and was Nebraska's first Attorney General. Chase County was separated from Hayes County by the Nebraska legislature on February 27, 1873, although the county was not organized until 1886.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Chase County )〕 It was once said that, excluding ranch owners, their wives, and their cooks, at the time Chase County was organized it was populated entirely by cowboys. Part of the reason for such a statement may have been the fact that at one time Frenchman Creek and its main branch the Stinking Water Creek were used as watering stops for cattle drives that traveled from Texas to the Union Pacific railhead at Ogallala. These trails are known as the Western or Great Western trails.〔(Western Trail, The Handbook of Texas )〕〔(The Great Western Trail )〕 Chase County sits in the region once referred to as the Great American Desert. However, on the broad, fertile plateau, early settlers quickly discovered that Chase County's dark sandy loam soil was excellent for farming. The railroad came to Chase County in 1892, reaching Wauneta on January 28.〔(Chase County Tourism )〕 It was built by a division of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad. This line left the main line near Culbertson and terminated in Imperial. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chase County, Nebraska」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
