History

Cambridge and Furnas County have roots in America’s settlement of the Plains in the late 19th century. The area was originally home to Pawnee and Sioux peoples before Euro-American settlement. The first settler near present-day Cambridge was Hiram Doing in 1871, and the post office opened as Medicine Creek in 1874. The town was called Pickletown or Pickleville after J.W. Pickle, but renamed Cambridge in 1880 when the railroad arrived—perhaps after Cambridge, Massachusetts or the famed English university town. Cambridge was incorporated in 1885 and grew around agriculture, the railroad, and community institutions like its local newspaper. Furnas County was organized the same year and named for Nebraska’s second governor, Robert W. Furnas, with Beaver City winning a contentious race to be county seat. Fun local quirks include Medicine Creek Days celebrations and historic sites like the old Burlington Railroad era buildings and local museums preserving pioneer artifacts and curiosities
