Beaver City, Nebraska

Beaver City, Nebraska

The Beaver Valley was a part of the hunting ground of the Pawnee Nation but fringed on the lands claimed by the Sioux Nation. The valley was first permanently settled in the late 1860s and early 1870s by pioneers arriving with dreams, high ideals and a work ethic that would eventually be passed on to their descendants. Many of the early settlers of the 1870s were able to see the young Beaver City, named for its location on Beaver Creek that actually contained a large beaver population, grow into a boom town of the 1880s. Progressive thinking brought new ideas to the area and made these settlers hopeful for the future. Rapidly the economy grew as banks opened, law practices began and real estate gained in value.

Distinguished area residents at the beginning of the 1900s were Dr. Frank Brewster, the world's first flying doctor, George Norris, lawyer, Senator and the legislator behind rural electrification and the Tennessee Valley Authority and Edwin Perkins, the inventor of Kool-Aid, who lived in near-by Precept and Hendley.

Today's citizens are able to make use of those same determined attitudes that their predecessors had. The basic economy of the Beaver Valley has always related directly to the success or failure of the farm community.

We are glad to have you in our town whatever the reason that brings you here. It is a wonderful place to raise a family or to make a home for retirement. The entire valley is a place of endless opportunities for all who are willing to live here and the caring people here make it a great place to be.

"WELCOME" to our little corner of the world and enjoy your stay here in the heartland of Southwest Nebraska, however long that might be. There are many places to visit and lots of people to meet.
