Wayne County Cultural Center of Northeast Nebraska
Wayne County has long been a cultural hub in northeastern Nebraska with early settlement starting in 1869. The area developed around Wayne and LaPorte with a county seat move to Wayne in 1884 and a strong musical tradition led by bands. Wayne State Teachers College originated from 1871 efforts, became a college in 1891, later evolving into a four year institution offering liberal arts and graduate programs by 1956.
