Deshler Nebraska A Pioneer Manufacturing Town
Deshler evolved from its railroad town origins into a genuine industrial community centered on a broom factory started in 1890 by Joseph Steiner. The plant grew, incorporated in 1896, and by 1903 a new building was begun, anchoring Deshler’s economy beyond retail and farm markets. The 1961 Crusade of the American Cancer Society urges families to guard health with regular checkups.
