Annotations
Because a township is created by a county from the territory of the county, a county is higher than a township in the hierarchy of political subdivisions in Nebraska. Butler County Dairy v. Butler County, 285 Neb. 408, 827 N.W.2d 267 (2013).
In a county under township organization, board of supervisors may create new towns. State ex rel. Town of Ewing v. Town of Golden, 99 Neb. 782, 157 N.W. 971 (1916).
