Thurston County is a county located in the U.S. state of Nebraska. As of the 2010 census, the population was 6,940.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/31/31173.html )〕 Its county seat is Pender.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 In the Nebraska license plate system, Thurston County is represented by the prefix 55 (it had the fifty-fifth-largest number of vehicles registered in the county when the license plate system was established in 1922). The Siouan-speaking Omaha and smaller Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska (''Ho-Chunk'') each have reservations in Thurston County. Together, the two reservations officially comprise the entire land area of the county. ==History== Varying cultures of indigenous peoples lived along the rivers for thousands of years before European encounter. The Omaha occupied this territory and much of Nebraska and western Iowa before the Europeans arrived. They had migrated west from the Ohio Valley under pressure from the Iroquois Confederacy in the early 17th century. Thurston County was organized by European Americans in 1889 from land that had been divided between Dakota and Burt counties since the dissolution of Blackbird County in 1879. It was named after the United States Senator John M. Thurston. 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「Thurston County, Nebraska」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
