Nebraska Counties: Boone by ric Gustafson
Boone County was established in 1871. The county seat is Albion. In the small town of Raeville is St Bonaventue Church. Just south of Petersburg is the Rae Valley. This area became Raeville. Albion businessman John Peters donated land and Petersburg was started. Boone County was named for Daniel Boone who was a famous hunter, pioneer and Indian fighter. Rev William Prescott was a Methodist minister who helped build the first building in Albion.
