About Monowi
Monowi (, MON-oh-wye) is the least populous incorporated village in the United States by having a population of one. It is in Boyd County, Nebraska, United States, and received national and international attention after the 2010 United States census recorded only one resident in the village, Elsie Eiler, who serves as its mayor, librarian, clerk, and treasurer. According to the 2020 census, Monowi had a population of 2. This was later confirmed to be an example of differential privacy in the census data; Eiler remains the town's sole resident.
According to tradition, the name Monowi means "flower" in an unidentified Native American language. Monowi was named after the many wildflowers growing at the original site of the village.
