Almena
The town site was established in 1877
south of Prairie Dog Creek, and it was moved in 1885 after the
Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad built its tracks on
the north side of the Prairie Dog. The Lincoln Land Company platted
the new town on June 15, 1885 and filed the plat on July 7, 1885.
The ethnicity of its settlers is unknown.
