Monowi is an incorporated village (total area 0.21 sq. mi.) in Boyd County, Nebraska, US. According to the 2010 census, it has a population of just one person, the only incorporated municipality in the United States with such a population. Monowi was platted in 1902 when the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad was extended to that point. Monowi's peak years were in the 1930s, when it had a population of 150. Like many small communities in the Great Plains, it lost its younger residents to the cities. During the 2000 census, the village had a total population of 2; only one married couple lived there. The husband died and his wife (Elsie Eiler) remained. In this capacity, she acts as Mayor, granting herself a liquor license (she runs a tavern and maintains the library there) and paying taxes to herself. She is required to produce a municipal road plan every year in order to secure state funding for the village's four street lights.
