Nebraska
Richardson County Courthouse in Falls City, Nebraska. The significance of the Richardson County Courthouse is that it serves as the center of local government for Richardson County, Nebraska, and the city of Falls City, which is located in the county. The county itself was named after William A. Richardson, a prominent figure in Nebraska’s territorial history who supported the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854. Falls City was founded in 1857, a few years after the territory was opened for settlement, and became an important route for free-state emigrants heading into Kansas during the turbulent Bleeding Kansas era
