WYNOT, NE

Photo by VinothChandar

The town came into being as a direct result of railroad expansion across Cedar County. People from St. James were unable to convince the officials of the Chicago, St.Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha Railroad Company to build its line to their town because it would have required them to cross Bow Creek twice. The company chose instead to establish a new town.

SHUBERT, NE
