Extractions: Tryon. - THE CITY AT THE CROSSING - The land containing the present site of Laurel was surveyed between 1856 and 1858 but the prairie sod remained unbroken for many years. The arrival of Louis C. Tolles and other pioneers in the early 1870s marked the beginning of settlement, but it was not until 1883 when the Chicago, St. Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha Railroad opened a branch line from Wakefield to what is now Hartington that the southern end of Cedar County was seen as a desirable place to live. In order to serve the flood of homeseekers brought by the new railroad, a post office was established at Claramont in 1884. A few years later, plans were announced to build a transcontinental railroad from Sioux City to San Francisco. When the first leg of what was called the Pacific Short Line opened for business in the summer of 1890, its tracks intersected the branch line southeast of Claramont. Recognizing that a town with two railroads might possess certain economic advantages, William M. Martin and a small number of investors drew up plans to start a new town at the crossing. A map of a small village bearing the name Claramont Junction was filed at the Cedar County Courthouse on October 31, 1890. But the Pacific Short Line soon experienced financial difficulties and Claramont Junction remained a jumble of rapidly-decaying survey stakes.

http://www-dial.jpl.nasa.gov/~steven/casde/atkinson/fort.html

Extractions: A little more than 150 years ago, when the American revolution was a mere 36 years behind us, when not a single settler had crossed the Mississippi into Iowa, and when not a single mile of railroad existed in the entire nation, a simple patch of ground a few miles north of Omaha, now surrounded by cornfields, pastures, and small town homes, was the site of the largest military post in America. Upon this quiet little patch of Nebraska once strode several thousands of soldiers, many of them veterans of the War of 1812. Here bugles blew, orders were barked, cannons roared. Here all the intricately controlled chaos of a great military establishment was conducted. Here also were Nebraska's first school, farm, sawmill, hospital and library. Here was Ft. Atkinson, the "Elysian Fields" of the 6th infantry, the first fort west of the Missouri, and the sole accomplishment of the Yellowstone Expedition of 1819. The story of Fort Atkinson began in 1804 with the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The land that is now Nebraska was once a part of the territory of Spain and later of France, and was peacefully acquired by the United States in 1803 when the French Emperor Napoleon offered the vast Louisiana Territory to the U.S. for $15,000,000. For three cents an acre, the fledgling American Republic doubled its size and acquired what would eventually form all or part of 15 states. President Thomas Jefferson proposed an expedition to be undertaken by the U.S. Army. In a confidential message to Congress he stated:

http://www.brownell.edu/trinity/history.htm

Extractions: HOME Welcome to Trinity Episcopal Cathedral Omaha Nebraska Trinity Episcopal Cathedral is Omaha's oldest church building still in use. The Parish was organized in 1856 (two years after Omaha's Founding, and eleven years before Nebraska became a state). In 1859, a church building was erected at 9th and Farnam Streets in Omaha on lots donated by Omaha's first Mayor, Jesse Lowe. The congregation relocated to a new building at the present site in 1867. Work on the current church structure began in 1880 and was concluded in three years. H. G. Harrison of new York City designed the building. Portions of Harrison's Cathedral plans were never completed (including a spire and Chapter House) because the congregation began diverting money to local mission work. Trinity was designated a Cathedral in 1883 by the first Episcopal Bishop of Nebraska, Robert Harper Clarkson. Charter members of the Cathedral included Thomas B. Cuming, first territorial governor of Nebraska. J. Sterling Morton of Nebraska City, father of Arbor Day, was an early vestryman. Like other churches in frontier Omaha, Trinity struggled to survive despite the prominence of many of its members. It held services in several locations and smaller churches before construction of the cathedral began in 1880.

History - Royal, Nebraska

http://www.royalne.com/history.htm

Extractions: Return Home History Established in 1890, the history of Royal began at Hering's Mill, located four and one-half miles north of the present town site. In the beginning and for a number of years thereafter, the community was known as Savage. (Anybody fortunate to have a map dating back to the turn of the 20th century should be able to find Savage printed on it.) Historic records indicate that Dr. George Savage of Sioux City had promised to give a large sum of money for the purpose of building a school to any new town named for him along a proposed line of railroad. Such an offer was too good to regard lightly at least so thought the promoters of the would-be town. The name of Savage was quickly appended and thus it remained until Rev. S. A. Baer, of Brunswick, who looked after the spiritual welfare of the village, sought to change it. The good minister considered it much more fitting to call his charge the Royal Sunday School than to hear it spoken of as the Savage Sunday School, and through his efforts the name of the town was changed to conincide with the name of the post office.

Lexington Nebraska :: History
In 1873, the industrious new community built a bridge across the Platte,the first one west of Columbus, nebraska, at a cost of $50,000.
http://www.nebinet.com/lexnebraska/history.html

Extractions: Lexington began as a railroad siding on the Union Pacific when the tracks were laid through the area in 1866, but is was first called Plum Creek. The name came from a creek that flowed into the south side of the Platte River 17 miles southeast of the present-day site. The name was brought across the river in 1867 by Daniel Freeman, who ran a trading post on the Oregon Trail near the creek's mouth. Freeman moved north of the river as the railroad became the preferred way of travel for people heading west. Plum Creek was designated as a post office in 1872, and two years later was incorporated as a town. The arrival of the first Philadelphia Colony that same year, along with those already here working on the railroad, farming, hunting or otherwise employed, made the first sizable community in the area.

http://www.ci.falls-city.ne.us/history.html

Extractions: Tri-State Corners Genealogy Society Falls City was founded in 1857, its early history part of the sweeping social and political changes overtaking a divided nation. The area was the Nebraska base on the Lane Trail, through which free-state immigrants were directed to Kansas. Lane, a free-soil leader, believed that the beautiful Nemaha Valley offered great agricultural opportunities and believed that a location on the Nemaha falls also had industrial potential. The first residents were Dave and Anne Dorrington, abolitionists who were said to have assisted John Brown on his travels through the settlement. After Archer, Richardson County's first county seat was found to be withing the "Half-Breed Tract," a sometimes violent rivalry ensued between Falls City and neighboring Salem, over the new location of the Courthouse. Falls City won the seat designation in an 1860 election. The 1870's and 1880's were decades of rapid growth in the city. In 1871, the coming of the Atchison and Nebraska Railroad accelerated the town's growth, while in 1881-82, the Missouri Pacific main line to Atchison from the Omaha area opened. In 1909, Falls City became a division point on the Missouri Pacific Railroad, now the Union Pacific. This improved transportation access, helped Falls City grow from 607 in 1807 to 3,022 in 1900. This period also saw a wave of important commercial and residential construction, including the Bell-Jenne House (1882), the Birkhauser-Broadstone House, the Brethren Church (1897), and Gehling's Opera House (1892).

Gold seekers, Mormons and migrants on their way to California and Oregon were among the thousands of pioneers using the overland trails between 1840 and 1860. Fort Kearny was established along the route to protect these travelers. Nebraska City and other towns on the Missouri River became shipping centers and supplied both the military outposts and the new settlers. From April 3, 1860 to October 24, 1861, Pony Express riders carried their mail across the area. In 1854, the Kansas-Nebraska Act was passed by Congress, organizing the Nebraska Territory. This act opened lands west of the Missouri, previously reserved for the Indians, to settlement. The Homestead Act of 1862 allowed settlers to claim 160 acres of land free in eastern Nebraska and statehood was granted on March 1, 1867, in a proclamation signed by President Andrew Johnson.
