Dalton, Nebraska

Dalton is a village in Cheyenne County, Nebraska, United States. The population was 315 at the 2010 census.

Early history
Dalton was founded circa 1900 when the Nebraska, Wyoming and Western Railroad was extended to that point. The railroad was certified in 1899 and railroad crews began surveying potential routes in Cheyenne County. In January 1900, the railroad purchased 150 acres of land from the Union Pacific Railroad, which had received the land in a land grant in 1867. The newly purchased land became a transportation hub for the Nebraska, Wyoming and Western Railroad, and the small town of Dalton that developed on the land became one of the work stations for the railroad. By September 1900, the railroad offered daily freight and passenger transportation north to Deadwood, South Dakota and south to Denver, Colorado from Dalton.

Post Office
The Dalton post office was established June 7, 1902 and Warren Woolsey was named the first postmaster.

Newspaper
The Dalton Herald was the first newspaper that was published in Dalton. It began publication in 1909 but did not remain in publication for long, although it remains unknown when exactly it went out of publication. The Dalton Delegate replaced the Herald in 1914 and was published every Friday until it went out of publication in September 1951.

Sidney, Nebraska

Sidney is a city in and the county seat of Cheyenne County, Nebraska, United States. The city is 9 mi north of the Colorado state line. The population was 6,410 at the 2020 census.

History
The city was named for Sidney Dillon, president of the Union Pacific Railroad. It was founded in 1867 by the Union Pacific and grew up around the military base of Fort Sidney (also known as Sidney Barracks), where soldiers were stationed to guard the transcontinental railroad against potential Native American attacks.

The town became the southern terminus of the Sidney Black Hills Stage Road which used Clarke's Bridge (near Bridgeport, Nebraska) to allow military and civilian traffic to reach Fort Robinson, Red Cloud Agency, Spotted Tail Agency, Custer, South Dakota, and Deadwood, South Dakota in the late 1870s and 1880s.

When the railroad reached Sidney, it was the end of a sub-division of the rail line and played host to a roundhouse, repair facilities, and a railroad hotel for passengers.

Sidney is home to one of the Old West's Boot Hill cemeteries; many of those interred there were soldiers from the fort.

The former headquarters for Cabela's was located in Sidney until 2017, when Cabela’s was acquired by Bass Pro Shops. Approximately 2,000 jobs were eliminated, while about 120 were relocated to the Bass Pro Shops headquarters in Springfield, Missouri.

Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 6.93 sqmi, all land.

Sidney is toward the western edge of the Midwestern wheat-growing region. West of the city, the land is increasingly used for cattle ranching. Sidney is located along Lodgepole Creek, which is along present-day Interstate 80.

The city is presently located at the junction of U.S. Route 385 with I-80, and its location approximately halfway between Cheyenne, Wyoming, and North Platte, Nebraska, has encouraged the growth of the city as a major transportation service area on the Interstate. Because the I-80/US 385 interchange is located several miles southeast of the town center, a new commercial area has developed, including truck stops, convenience stores, the building that housed Cabela's former world headquarters, shopping centers, motels, restaurants, and other commercial enterprises. In recent years, the city has seen further growth with the construction of wind farms in this portion of the Nebraska Panhandle and adjacent areas of Colorado, including Peetz.

Glenvil, Nebraska

Glenvil is a village in Clay County, Nebraska, United States. The settlement was formerly also known as Glenville. The population was 267 at the 2020 census. It is part of the Hastings, Nebraska Micropolitan Statistical Area.

History
Glenvil was founded in 1873 when the St. Joseph & Denver City Railroad was extended to that point.

The Glenvil post office, first established in 1873 (in the year the settlement was first surveyed ) was spelled Glenville until 1914.

Glenvil's population peaked at about 300 in the 1920s, and fell to about half that in 1998.

Glenville's first school was organized during 1871-72 and, like other rural schools, was housed in a wood-frame building. It was demolished by a tornado and rebuilt in 1882. The Glenville School, the first substantial school in the village, operated from 1903 to 1995 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Glenvil received national attention in 1997 when residents wrote letters to celebrities asking for money to help build a new playground. Letters were sent to billionaire Warren Buffett, comedian Robin Williams, talk show hosts Jay Leno, David Letterman and Oprah Winfrey; and Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates asking for financial help. Gates was the only one who responded as he wrote back and included a check for $5,000. Less than a month after Gates donated the $5,000 Merle Hinrichs, chairman of Asian Sources Media in Hong Kong, mailed a check for $20,000 after project organizers said they needed more money for playground equipment.

Economy
Schuyler's single largest employer is the Cargill beef processing plant, with approximately 2,000 employees. The plant opened in 1968 as a Spencer Packing Co. facility. Other major employers include Schuyler Community Schools, with 245 employees; Alegent Health Memorial Hospital, with 82 full-time and 31 part-time employees; and QC Supply, a manufacturer and distributor of farm and ranch supplies with 75 full-time employees.

History
In 1866, the Union Pacific Railroad reached present-day Schuyler, at the time known as Shell Creek Station. Three years later, the Nebraska State Legislature divided large Platte County into three smaller counties, including Colfax County. In 1870, Shell Creek Station was renamed Schuyler.

In 1870, the Union Pacific chose the town as the point at which Texas cattle being driven north would be loaded onto trains. With this, Schuyler became Nebraska's first "cow town". However, the resulting boom, which saw a six-fold increase in the town's population (from 100 to 600) and around 50,000 head of cattle pass through, was only temporary: the next year, the terminus of the cattle trail had moved west to Kearney.

The city's early residents were Czech, Irish, and German settlers. Settlement was enabled by Schuyler's geographic position, which caused the community to be associated with a number of historic overland transportation routes, including:
 * Oregon Trail (1836–1869)
 * Mormon Trail (1840s–1850s)
 * Transcontinental Railway (1866–present)
 * Coast-to-coast Lincoln Highway (1913–1925)

Beginning in the late 1980s, reductions in wages at the Cargill beef processing plant led to a change in Schuyler's demographic makeup. By 2017, an estimated 60% of the population was Latino, and immigrants from other parts of the world, including Somalia and Thailand, had also moved to the city.

In December 2020, the Schuyler City Council voted to reject the formation of a board of health, which would have potentially resulted in a mask mandate. In January 2021, the city council voted to establish a board of health and appointed members, after two previous attempts failed. The council passed a revised ordinance which gave the board power to only suggest actions to the city council.

In March 2021, law enforcement sent a letter to Schuyler Community Schools complaining about an incident on February 24, 2021 involving a student. Law enforcement also said the relationship between the two entities was strained.

Attractions
In 1935, monks from the Congregation of Missionary Benedictines of Saint Ottilien established a community in Schuyler as a means of supporting the congregation's missions in Africa and Asia. At present, Christ the King Priory is home to 11 monks. The monks' apostolate has expanded to providing retreats at the recently constructed Saint Benedict Center, four miles north of Schuyler.

The Oak Ballroom, completed by the Works Progress Administration in 1937 and now listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was built using dozens of native oak trees hauled to the building site from the nearby Platte River using horses and wagons.

Transportation
Intercity bus service to the city is provided by Express Arrow.
