This Winnebago Agency was established on the Winnebago Reservation in northeastern Nebraska in 1865 when that reservation was estabished. Many of the Winnebago Indians had been under the jurisdiction of the Crow Creek Agency in Dakota Territory which had evolved from the Prairie du Chien Agency. Some of the Winnebago and Potawatomi Indians who did not like Crow Creek had gone to Wisconsin to avoid being moved there. Most of them were under the jurisidiction of the [[Winnebago Indian Agency (Wisconsin)|Winnebago Agency of Wisconsin]].<ref>Hill, Edward E.
