Assumption is a small place in Adams County, Nebraska, United States. It is known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a settlement that doesn't have its own local government, like a city or town. Instead, it's managed by the larger county government.
History
Assumption has a simple but interesting past.
Early Settlers
Around 1873, a group of German Catholics came to this area and started a new community. They were some of the first people to settle here.
How Assumption Got Its Name
The name "Assumption" comes from a church built in the 1880s. This church was called the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was a very important place for the early settlers.
