History
Nebraska was founded in 1854.[2] The community was named after the Nebraska Territory.[3] A post office called Nebraska was established in 1854, and remained in operation until 1907.[4] With the rise of nearby rival towns Harvey and Nola, business activity shifted away from Nebraska, and its population dwindled.[2]
