Horace, Nebraska

Horace is an unincorporated community in Greeley County, Nebraska, in the United States.[1]

History

Horace, like Greeley County, was named for Horace Greeley, a newspaper editor and politician of the mid-19th century who encouraged western settlement with the motto "Go West, young man".[2][3]

A post office was established in Horace in 1890, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1942.[4]

Several buildings still stand on the site.
