It has always been so with Ogallala, a town that came into existence at the junction of the major routes of the transcontinental migrations and of the cattle trails north from Texas." From 1870 to 1885, Ogallala was the "gateway of the Northern Plains". Hard-bitten Wyoming and Montana cattlemen met in Ogallala's hotel and saloons with Texas cattle kings and bargained over cattle prices. Gold flowed freely across the table, liquor across the bar, and occasionally blood across the floor as a bullet brought some unlucky cowhand to his death on the floorboards of Tuck's Saloon. The first non-native visitors to this area were the trappers from St. Louis. Next came the pioneers who followed the Oregon Trail. To protect them, the government established forts at intervals along the trail. Then came the Union Pacific Railroad. It is assumed that Ogallala had its beginning about 1867. Settlers started to follow the railroad west, and the cattlemen started driving their cattle to Ogallala to be shipped east or to be sold to Montana and Wyoming ranchers. Ogallala's early history was unspectacular, promising to be nothing but a section house and water tank for the railroad. Then, in the spring of 1868, three men appeared to set the destiny of Ogallala. These men were the Lonergan brothers and Louis Aufdengarten. The Lonergan brothers came to do construction work for the Union Pacific Railroad. They found the plains to their liking, and subsequently became interested in Ogallala. By 1876, Ogallala had changed little from its infant days in 1868. The stores were all south of the railroad tracks, and fronted what was called Railroad Street and the trail leading south to the Platte River. Along this trail extended the rest of the town. The town consisted of saloons with such names as The Cowboy's Rest and the Crystal Palace. The last building on the street was the Ogallala House - dining room widely patronized because of its excellent fare. It was run by S.S. Gast. By 1880, Ogallala consisted of one courthouse, one school, one hotel, two dwelling houses, and twenty-five permanent residents. The tempo of living in early Ogallala changed with the seasons. During the months of winter and early spring life was drab and dreary. Shortly after the first of June the town began to hum with activity as the first Texas trail herds started to arrive. During the three summer months business boomed - ten to twelve herds, each of two hundred or more trail hands taxed the facilities of Ogallala. Sleeping rooms and meals were hard to find when the trail hands were in town. Activities in Ogallala continued at a fever pitch until the end of August, by then the Texans were heading back to Texas; by November Ogallala had settled back in quiet and peaceful repose. Ogallala's population of floaters, gamblers, trades-people and dance hall hostesses drifted to Omaha or Cheyenne to spend the winter. One hotel, one supply house and a single saloon remained open for the winter. The community sank into a state of inanimation until next spring. In 1882-1884, the settlers and farmers reached Ogallala. These men were encouraged by the Union Pacific Railroad because the railroad started selling their land at quite low prices. A serious epidemic of Texas fever swept over Nebraska during the summer of 1884. The disease first appeared near Ogallala in July apparently being brought in by Texas cattle. The disease spread quickly and it caused very heavy losses to the cattlemen. The ranchers had started to put expensive blooded bulls in their herds. These ranchers demanded that Texas cattle be excluded from Nebraska. This ban of Texas cattle was a damaging blow to the Texas trail herd business. This was the end of the trail period of Ogallala, as the wild, often violent town became a peaceful farmer's settlement. Omaha Beach Lot II at Lake Mac is 45 minutes from Ogallala and Interstate 80, 3 .5 hours northeast of Denver, CO and 4.5 hours west of Omaha, NE This property is only minutes away from the lake's famous white sands beaches, popular boat ramps, restaurants, and bars.

As of the 2020 United States Census, the population was 856. Its county seat is Hayes Center. The county was created in1877, and was organized in 1884. It was named for Rutherford B. Hayes, the US President at the time of the county's creation. Hayes Center was known as the Wind-Mill City as each family had their own wind-mill for their water supply, there was also a public wind-mill and tank that was located in the middle of main street, where people watered their livestock. But today wind-mills are a thing of the past, as even most farmers use electric pumps to get their water supply. The country now included in Hayes County was formerly part of the great buffalo range, the cherished hunting grounds of the Indians. Settlement was delayed for many years because of the hostility of the Red Men. Many bloody battles were fought between the various Indian tribes, particularly the Pawnee and the Sioux, over the possession and use of this ground. The first white men were hunters. Doctor W. F. Carver, Buffalo Bill Cody, and other famous frontier characters hunted here to supply meat for the workmen and soldiers during the building of the Union Pacific railroad in 1868-69. In the early seventies sportsmen came from all over the world to hunt in the valley of the Red Willow, the Frenchman's Fork and the Stinking Water, the latter stream got its name from the hundreds of rotting carcasses left on its bank and in its bed by the hunters. Carver claimed in 1873 that he himself had killed at least thirty thousand buffalo. This was the year after the famous hunt staged with elaborate ceremony in honor of Grand Duke Alexis, twenty-two year old brother of the reigning Czar of Russia. This party, led by Buffalo Bill Cody as chief of scouts and accompanied by General Sheriden and officers from Fort McPherson, camped the Big Blackwood eight miles northeast of the present site of Hayes Center. The famous Sioux Chief, Spotted Tail, along with one hundred warriors presented a demonstration of the Indian method of hunting. Followed by a war dance, the whole affair was a brilliant success and the Duke himself succeeded in killing several buffalo.   Hayes County Upland and CRP is located just of Hwy 25 north of Palisade, Nebraska. It is within a 3.5 hour drive of Denver and the front range of Colorado and 4 hours from Lincoln, Nebraska. Access is easy from highway 25 as well as the two county maintained roads that border the property.   Call Clay Owens or Dax Hayden today for more details or to see this property.

It has always been so with Ogallala, a town that came into existence at the junction of the major routes of the transcontinental migrations and of the cattle trails north from Texas." From 1870 to 1885, Ogallala was the "gateway of the Northern Plains". Hard-bitten Wyoming and Montana cattlemen met in Ogallala's hotel and saloons with Texas cattle kings and bargained over cattle prices. Gold flowed freely across the table, liquor across the bar, and occasionally blood across the floor as a bullet brought some unlucky cowhand to his death on the floorboards of Tuck's Saloon. The first non-native visitors to this area were the trappers from St. Louis. Next came the pioneers who followed the Oregon Trail. To protect them, the government established forts at intervals along the trail. Then came the Union Pacific Railroad. It is assumed that Ogallala had its beginning about 1867. Settlers started to follow the railroad west, and the cattlemen started driving their cattle to Ogallala to be shipped east or to be sold to Montana and Wyoming ranchers. Ogallala's early history was unspectacular, promising to be nothing but a section house and water tank for the railroad. Then, in the spring of 1868, three men appeared to set the destiny of Ogallala. These men were the Lonergan brothers and Louis Aufdengarten. The Lonergan brothers came to do construction work for the Union Pacific Railroad. They found the plains to their liking, and subsequently became interested in Ogallala. By 1876, Ogallala had changed little from its infant days in 1868. The stores were all south of the railroad tracks, and fronted what was called Railroad Street and the trail leading south to the Platte River. Along this trail extended the rest of the town. The town consisted of saloons with such names as The Cowboy's Rest and the Crystal Palace. The last building on the street was the Ogallala House - dining room widely patronized because of its excellent fare. It was run by S.S. Gast. By 1880, Ogallala consisted of one courthouse, one school, one hotel, two dwelling houses, and twenty-five permanent residents. The tempo of living in early Ogallala changed with the seasons. During the months of winter and early spring life was drab and dreary. Shortly after the first of June the town began to hum with activity as the first Texas trail herds started to arrive. During the three summer months business boomed - ten to twelve herds, each of two hundred or more trail hands taxed the facilities of Ogallala. Sleeping rooms and meals were hard to find when the trail hands were in town. Activities in Ogallala continued at a fever pitch until the end of August, by then the Texans were heading back to Texas; by November Ogallala had settled back in quiet and peaceful repose. Ogallala's population of floaters, gamblers, trades-people and dance hall hostesses drifted to Omaha or Cheyenne to spend the winter. One hotel, one supply house and a single saloon remained open for the winter. The community sank into a state of inanimation until next spring. In 1882-1884, the settlers and farmers reached Ogallala. These men were encouraged by the Union Pacific Railroad because the railroad started selling their land at quite low prices. A serious epidemic of Texas fever swept over Nebraska during the summer of 1884. The disease first appeared near Ogallala in July apparently being brought in by Texas cattle. The disease spread quickly and it caused very heavy losses to the cattlemen. The ranchers had started to put expensive blooded bulls in their herds. These ranchers demanded that Texas cattle be excluded from Nebraska. This ban of Texas cattle was a damaging blow to the Texas trail herd business. This was the end of the trail period of Ogallala, as the wild, often violent town became a peaceful farmer's settlement. Hilltop Lot at Lake Mac is less than 30 minutes from Ogallala and Interstate 80, 3 .5 hours northeast of Denver, CO and 4.5 hours west of Omaha, NE This property is only minutes away from the lake's famous white sands beaches, popular boat ramps, restaurants, and bars.

As early as the 1880′s, citizens of south-central Nebraska discussed the possibility of bringing irrigation to the area. Interest in irrigation grew with each successive drought cycle until the drought and economic depression of the 1930s helped convince state and federal officials and community leaders of the need for irrigation. The Public Works Administration approved funding for the hydro-irrigation project in 1935 and construction began in 1936. Kingsley Dam was closed and dedicated in 1941 and project operations began soon afterward. The dam and reservoir are named for George P. Kingsley, a Minden, Nebraska banker, and C.W. McConaughy, a grain merchant and mayor of Holdrege, Nebraska, two of the leading promoters of the project. Although neither lived to see the completion of the project, their leadership and perseverance eventually culminated in a public power and irrigation project that helped Nebraska become one of the nation's leading agricultural states. The property is located on the north side of highway 92 and is on a corner lot. Airports are located in Oshkosh and Ogallala, NE

It has always been so with Ogallala, a town that came into existence at the junction of the major routes of the transcontinental migrations and of the cattle trails north from Texas." The Haythorn family homesteaded in the Lemoyne, NE area in 1884, some of the first to settle in the beautiful sandhills near the North Platte River. From 1870 to 1885, Ogallala was the "gateway of the Northern Plains". Hard-bitten Wyoming and Montana cattlemen met in Ogallala's hotel and saloons with Texas cattle kings and bargained over cattle prices. Gold flowed freely across the table, liquor across the bar, and occasionally blood across the floor as a bullet brought some unlucky cowhand to his death on the floorboards of Tuck's Saloon. The first non-native visitors to this area were the trappers from St. Louis. Next came the pioneers who followed the Oregon Trail. To protect them, the government established forts at intervals along the trail. Then came the Union Pacific Railroad. It is assumed that Ogallala had its beginning about 1867. Settlers started to follow the railroad west, and the cattlemen started driving their cattle to Ogallala to be shipped east or to be sold to Montana and Wyoming ranchers. Ogallala's early history was unspectacular, promising to be nothing but a section house and water tank for the railroad. Then, in the spring of 1868, three men appeared to set the destiny of Ogallala. These men were the Lonergan brothers and Louis Aufdengarten. The Lonergan brothers came to do construction work for the Union Pacific Railroad. They found the plains to their liking, and subsequently became interested in Ogallala. By 1876, Ogallala had changed little from its infant days in 1868. The stores were all south of the railroad tracks, and fronted what was called Railroad Street and the trail leading south to the Platte River. Along this trail extended the rest of the town. The town consisted of saloons with such names as The Cowboy's Rest and the Crystal Palace. The last building on the street was the Ogallala House - dining room widely patronized because of its excellent fare. It was run by S.S. Gast. By 1880, Ogallala consisted of one courthouse, one school, one hotel, two dwelling houses, and twenty-five permanent residents. The tempo of living in early Ogallala changed with the seasons. During the months of winter and early spring life was drab and dreary. Shortly after the first of June the town began to hum with activity as the first Texas trail herds started to arrive. During the three summer months business boomed - ten to twelve herds, each of two hundred or more trail hands taxed the facilities of Ogallala. Sleeping rooms and meals were hard to find when the trail hands were in town. Activities in Ogallala continued at a fever pitch until the end of August, by then the Texans were heading back to Texas; by November Ogallala had settled back in quiet and peaceful repose. Ogallala's population of floaters, gamblers, trades-people and dance hall hostesses drifted to Omaha or Cheyenne to spend the winter. One hotel, one supply house and a single saloon remained open for the winter. The community sank into a state of inanimation until next spring. In 1882-1884, the settlers and farmers reached Ogallala. These men were encouraged by the Union Pacific Railroad because the railroad started selling their land at quite low prices. A serious epidemic of Texas fever swept over Nebraska during the summer of 1884. The disease first appeared near Ogallala in July apparently being brought in by Texas cattle. The disease spread quickly and it caused very heavy losses to the cattlemen. The ranchers had started to put expensive blooded bulls in their herds. These ranchers demanded that Texas cattle be excluded from Nebraska. This ban of Texas cattle was a damaging blow to the Texas trail herd business. This was the end of the trail period of Ogallala, as the wild, often violent town became a peaceful farmer's settlement.

The name Deuel comes from a Union Pacific Railroad official by the name of Harry Porter Deuel. Deuel County's borders have changed dramatically over the years, it was originally part of Cheyenne County, but an election in 1889 formed Deuel County. During another election, this time in 1909, the northern three-fourths of the county became what is today Garden County. On June 29, 1867 the Union Pacific Railroad began operation through Big Springs, which is named for the natural springs in the area that played a major component in the pioneering of the Union Pacific Railroad. The natural springs were used for the steam engines, but over time as the engines got larger the springs could not keep up. In 1907 a well was dug and water tank was erected in what is now Railroad Park. The railroad also went through Chappell in these days. Charles Henry Chappell, an Illinois railroad man, was responsible for building the train depot in present day Chappell. When lumber, rails, and other supplies were sent from Omaha to this area, the instructions would simply read, "Send this to Chappell." This is how Chappell acquired its name. Deuel County wasn't completely free from trouble in these days. The Sam Bass Gang robbed the Union Pacific Express Train No. 4 at Big Springs on September 18, 1877. $60,000 in gold coin was taken. They then robbed the coach passengers of their money and jewelry. After this they held up the depot agent, John Barnhart, who was forced to destroy his telegraph instruments so he was unable to send a message for help. The robbers finally extinguished the fire in the train's engine, and headed off. The next morning word of the robbery was received in Omaha and the gang was chased by law officials. Three of the outlaws were killed and two others were never captured. Sam Bass remained free until a new gang member set him up in Texas where he was killed. In Deuel County's first official election on January 15, 1889, R. Lisco was named Sheriff and B.G. Hoover was named County Commissioner. The next big decision was to determine which town would serve as the county seat. The January 15 election named Big Springs as the county seat, but it only served as county seat for one day. The towns of Big Springs, Chappell, and Froid each wanted to serve as county seat and a fierce battle began. A special election was held on February 12, 1889. Amazingly after the ballots were counted Big Springs had received 5608 votes, Chappell received 3288 votes, and Froid received 292 votes. Many charges and allegations arose as Big Springs had only 200 legal voters and Chappell had only 275 legal voters. What is believed to have happened is that Chappell voters heard big Springs had a vote of 3000, so they decided that they would surpass that number and stop. Big Springs, however, didn't stop. The register charged election officials in Big Springs with inserting 1300 Ballots printed in Ogallala after the polls had closed. The controversy went to the courts and a judge ordered county offices to remain in Chappell for the time being. In April of 1894 the battle continued in court with documented bitter and physical fights breaking out in the court room. On May 7, 1894 Judge Silas Holcombe ruled that, "...The Board of County Commissioners of Deuel County Nebraska are hereby authorized and directed to call a new and special election for the permanent location of the County Seat in and for Deuel County Nebraska as required by law in all respects as though the paid special election on said 12 day of February 1889, had never occurred or taken place." It took two elections that year before a majority vote was cast. On June 23, 1894 Chappell was declared the winner with 437 votes as Big Springs only received 344 votes. On August 11, 1894 the Board of Commissioners officially declared Chappell as the County Seat of Deuel County. In 1915 the present-day courthouse was built. The 60x70 foot building has two floors in addition to the basement. The basement houses the Sheriff's office, jail, surveyor's office, maintenance rooms, as well as two storage vaults. The first floor is occupied by the County Commissioners, Clerk, Assessor, Treasurer, and vaults for those offices. The second floor is mainly used for the District Court. The first county fairs were held in Big Springs from 1889 up until 1932. After that year the county fair was moved to Chappell, where it is still held every August. Big Springs and Chappell both have their own high schools. Big Springs is consolidated with Brule to from South Platte, a class D-2 school, and Chappell is a D-1 school. The schools are highly successful in both academics and sports. There is always a strong competition going on for the "Deuel County Championship" in sports. The county has grown over the years; Chappell now has a population of 983, Big Springs has 418, and there are approximately 500 more people living outside the city limits. 37 of these people are county employees. In November of 2002 the largest flag in the state of Nebraska was officially dedicated. The large flag was painted on the side of Farmer's Elevator and can be seen from Interstate-80, and is something that all residents of Deuel County are proud of. Deuel County continues to be a prosperous farming area. Crops such as wheat, corm, millet, sunflowers, milo, and oats are grown throughout the county. The larger ranches also grow alfalfa for their animals. Deuel County has rightfully taken on the motto: Deuel County, Where Wheat is King.
