    Extractions: The Minicks Home History Auburn, one of the newest cities in Nemaha County, includes within its city limits the former towns of St. George, Sheridan, and Calvert. St. George, a 40 acre plot of land in Northeast Auburn was platted in the 1850's. It was on the road from Brownville to Marshall's Trading Point near the Blue River. It must have been a progressive community. As early as 1858 there was an attempt to move the county seat from Brownville to a more central location in the county. When the election was held on August 28, 1858, Brownville received 206 votes and St. George 164. This was apparently the last note worthy event to take place in St. George, for by 1882, it was recorded in Andreas' History of Nemaha County that the town Site was farm ground. At the same time, the Burlington and Missouri Railroad in Nebraska was being built west through Nemaha County from Nemaha City. The B & M RR and the MP RR crossed about two and one-half miles southeast of Sheridan. An attempt was made by John L. Carson, of Brownville, and others, to establish the new town of "Carson" at that point. However, the railroad refused to build a depot at Carson, and instead, selected a site south of Sheridan for the depot. In 1881. the Lincoln Land Company, a subsidiary of the B & M RR, purchased the land and platted the town site, naming it Calvert, in honor of Thomas F. Calvert, a railroad official. This was the beginning of a rivalry between the two railroad towns.

    Extractions: NEBRASKA HISTORY Ancient Land Early Banks Early Government Explorers ... Naming of Nebraska ANCIENT LAND: North American Continent The area of the United States that became known as " Nebraska " had its earliest beginnings under water, in the bottom of a great inland sea. Skeletons of millions of animals and plants were embedded in mud that hardened into rock and became the limestone that appears today on the sides of ravines and along the streams in Eastern Nebraska . As the sea bottom slowly rose, a land of marshes and forests appeared. After many thousand years, the land became drier, and trees of all kinds grew, including oak, maple, beech, and willow. Leaves from these ancient trees can be found today pressed and printed in the red sandstone rocks. Illustration - Mastedon Then the sea covered the land again, bringing new shells and fish. When the land rose this time, it was covered with grass and trees. The bones of animals such as camels, tapirs, monkeys, tigers, rhinos, elephants, and tiny horses are still found today beneath our soil.

    Extractions: NEBRASKA STATE HISTORY The first American expedition to visit Nebraska in 1804 to 1806 was led by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, who traveled up the Missouri River and explored the state's eastern edge. In 1806, Lt. Zebulon Pike visited south-central Nebraska as part of a U.S. government program to explore the Louisiana Purchase. The Spanish-American trader Manuel Lisa established trading posts along the Missouri River between 1807 and 1820. One established in 1812 was near the site where Lewis and Clark held council with the Indians, in present-day Washington County. In 1811, the Hunt party of Astorians skirted Nebraska on its way to Oregon. The following year, fur agent Robert Stuart set out for New York City from the Astoria trading post in Oregon, entering Nebraska early in 1813. Stuart's seven-man party followed the North Platte River to its junction with the South Platte, then along the Platte to the Missouri River. This route later came to be known as the Oregon Trail. In 1819, the U.S. Army established Nebraska's first military post, Fort Atkinson (located near the present-day community of Fort Calhoun in Washington County) to protect the frontier. The fort, with more than 1,000 people, also became the site of Nebraska's first school, library, grist mill and brickyard before it was abandoned in 1827. The village of Bellevue, founded on the Missouri River in 1823, became Nebraska's first permanent white settlement.

The university was founded in 1869 as a land-grant university under the 1862 Morrill Act , two years after Nebraska's statehood. Around the turn of the century, the university began to expand significantly, hiring professors from eastern schools to teach in the newly organized professional colleges while also producing groundbreaking research in agricultural sciences. The "Nebraska method" of ecological study developed here during this time, which pioneered grassland ecology and laid the foundation for research in theoretical ecology for the rest of the 20th century.

    Extractions: Nebraska detailed state guide The Indian Intercourse Act of 1834 forbade white settlement west of the Mississippi River, reserving the Great Plains as Indian Territory. Nothing prevented whites from traversing Nebraska, however, and from 1840 to 1866, some 350,000 persons crossed the area on the Oregon, California, and Mormon trails, following the Platte River Valley, a natural highway to the West. Military forts were established in the 1840s to protect travelers from Indian attack. The Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 established Nebraska Territory, which stretched from Kansas to Canada and from the Missouri River to the Rockies. The territory assumed its present shape in 1861. Still sparsely populated, Nebraska escaped the violence over the slavery issue that afflicted Kansas. The creation of Nebraska Territory heightened conflict between Indians and white settlers, however, as Indians were forced to cede more and more of their land. From mid-1860 to the late 1870s, western Nebraska was a battleground for Indians and US soldiers. By 1890, the Indians were defeated and moved onto reservations in Nebraska, South Dakota, and Oklahoma. World War I created a rift among Nebraskans as excessive patriotic zeal was directed against residents of German descent. German-language newspapers were censored, ministers were ordered to preach only in English (often to congregations that understood only German), and three university professors of German origin were fired. A Nebraska law (1919) that prohibited the teaching of any foreign language until high school was later declared unconstitutional by the US Supreme Court.

    Extractions: As the United States expanded to the west, the Platte Valley trails of Nebraska became the major highways. 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. The railroads contributed greatly to the early development of the site. The Union Pacific was completed across Nebraska in 1867, and the lines of the Burlington system crisscrossed most of the state by the mid- 1880s. Many early railroads received land grants from the state and federal governments to offset the cost of construction. These lands were sold to settlers through extensive advertising campaigns, with some companies sending representatives to Europe to encourage immigrants to come to Nebraska.

    Extractions: Page 1 of HOME Long before early French explorers named it the Platte River, for "flat water," this heartland oasis was a crossroads. Migratory birds, abundant wildlife and native Americans were in residence for centuries when the confluence of the Oregon and Mormon Trails led pioneers to the site that would become Kearney. Bound for points further west, some hardy, yet visionary souls saw opportunities along the Platte and they stayed laying the foundation for what would become the Mid-western "work ethic." Now, at the very center of the country, as this great, braided river cuts an arc across the plains, Kearney, Nebraska faces a brilliant future.

The Lewis and Clark expedition (1804) and the explorations of Zebulon M. Pike (1806) increased knowledge of the country, but the activities of the fur traders were more immediately valuable in terms of settlement. Manuel Lisa, a fur trader, probably established the first trading post in the Nebraska area in 1813. Bellevue, the first permanent settlement in Nebraska, first developed as a trading post. Steamboating on the Missouri River, initiated in 1819, brought business to the river ports of Omaha and Brownville. The natural highway formed by the Platte valley was used extensively by pioneers going west over the Oregon Trail and also the California Trail and the Mormon Trail. Nebraska settlers made money supplying the wagon trains with fresh mounts and pack animals as well as food. Nebraska became a territory after passage of the Kansas-Nebraska Act Railroads, Ranches, and the Growth of Populism
