Coastal-adjacent prospects describe Cheyenne county as a thriving region. The narrative touts agricultural expansion, new opportunities, and a revived rural economy that contrasts with earlier frontier life.
Sidney, Nebraska, county seat of Cheyenne county, with about 1700 residents, serves as a division point on the Union Pacific and Denver and Puget Sound branches. It hosts major repair shops, several churches, strong railroad connections, and is a desirable residential town near Omaha Denver and Cheyenne.
The Nebraska plan sets aside two sections per township for school use and funds comparable to any state. The result is larger school buildings better teachers and longer terms than many eastern states.
Land in Cheyenne county can be had for $15.00 to $25.00 per acre as a new, plentiful area. The note compares current Cheyenne prices to Eastern Iowa farms once bought cheaply, warns prices are rising, and urges readers to act now to avoid regret.
