Located in the South East portion of
Nebraska. I grew up in this county and spent a summer working for the local
utilities company, thus I used to know my way around.
Nebraska City (my hometown) is a hot bed of activity compared to the rest of the county. Unadilla used to have a pretty decent
bar & grill. Paul (population about 12) has a nice
sand volleyball court.
The terrain of the county is mostly bluffs since it resides along the Missouri River. There is a lot of farming and livestock around the area. Residents of Otoe County can be identified by an 11 on their license plate.
