Monowi (/ˈmɒnoʊwaɪ/ MON-oh-wye) is an incorporated village in Boyd County, Nebraska, United States. It garnered national and international[6] recognition after the 2010 United States census counted only one resident of the village, Elsie Eiler.[7] Though the 2020 census listed Monowi's population as two,[8] this was confirmed to be an example of differential privacy in the census data; Eiler remains the town's sole resident.[9]
According to tradition, the name Monowi means "flower" in an unidentified Native American language.[10][11] Monowi was so named after the many wildflowers growing at the original site of the village.[12]
