History

The site of the September 1855 Battle of Ash Hollow (also called the Battle of Blue Water Creek and Harney Massacre), part of the First Sioux War, is near the modern-day settlement of Lewellen. The United States Army, with 600 troops under the command of William Selby Harney, made a surprise punitive attack on a Brule Sioux encampment led by Chief Little Thunder, in retaliation for the Grattan incident. Army infantry and cavalry killed a total of 86 people, including women and children, and taking another 70 women and children as captives.[5][6]

Samuel P. Delatour arrived in the area in 1884, founding a ranch at Blue Creek.[7] Lewellen was platted (laid out) in 1906, around the time the railroad was extended to that point.[7][8] Originally part of the Deuel County, Lewellen became part of Garden County in 1910.[7] It was named for Frank Lewellen, who arrived in the area in 1886 and established a small store and post office.[7] The population by the end of 1919 was about 400.[8]
