Oconee is an unincorporated community in Platte County, Nebraska, United States.[1]
Oconee was originally called Lost Creek, and under the latter name was platted in 1880.[2] The name was soon changed to Oconee, likely after Oconee, Illinois.[3] The village in Illinois was named after the daughter of a local Indian chieftain, whose name allegedly means—or sounds like—the Shawnee language word for bone.[4]
A post office was established at Oconee in 1887, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1916.[5]
