Nebraska, Arkansas
Nebraska is a ghost town in Scott County, in the U.S. state of Arkansas.[1]
History
Nebraska was founded in 1854.[2] The community was named after the Nebraska Territory.[3]
A post office called Nebraska was established in 1854, and remained in operation until 1907.[4] With the rise of nearby rival towns Harvey and Nola, business activity shifted away from Nebraska, and its population dwindled.[2]
