Description
View of Kearney, Buffalo County, N.E., 1889 / drawn & published by H. Wellge.
This bird’s-eye view perspective print of Kearney, Nebraska was drawn by Henry Wellge and published by American Publishing Co. in 1889. Kearney developed in the mid-1800's under the umbrella of protection of nearby Fort Kearny. Kearney was established as the county seat of Buffalo County when it was created in 1855. The town was well supplied with the addition of railroads. Kearney was a large producer of grain which was actively shipped by rail. It also served as a haven for the army personnel posted at the fort. By the 1880s, Kearney was recognized as great place to settle, as the nation began moving westward.
