Wheeler is a ghost town in Wheeler County, Nebraska, United States.[1]

History

Wheeler was originally called Baird, but when it was discovered that another place called Baird already existed, the town was renamed to avoid repetition.[2] A post office was established at Wheeler in 1881, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1934.[3]
