Wayne County was organized by a proclamation of Governor David Butler in the autumn of 1870. As the County was settled, precincts were formed and boundaries defined. Precincts were named for officials, early settlers and neighborhood creeks. The Town of Wayne and Wayne County were named for the Revolutionary War hero, Anthony Wayne. General Wayne was bold and daring in planning and carrying out his strategies. His reputation seems to have inspired steadfast loyalty in his men and his friends.
Several towns in Wayne County's early history no longer exist. LaPorte had nearly 300 citizens at one time and was home to a temporary courthouse until the railroad chose a different route. Towns such as Taffe, Logan City, Apex, Melvin, Weber, and Spring Branch no longer exist, other than in old history book and family stories. Wayne County currently spans 443 square-miles in Northeast Nebraska
