How Scandia Got Its Name
In 1868 a Scandinavian cooperative group organized the Scandinavian Agricultural Society and chose land near the Republican River for a new town. After building the Colony House and establishing transport links, the settlement was renamed Scandia from New Scandinavia. The first train reached the area in 1878, with Skapja later incorporated as a city in 1879.
