Postal Service History in Sidney Nebraska Since 1868
Sidneys post office began in a general store under Tom Kane as first postmaster. A 1876 act created a post road from Sidney to Custer City as mail routes to the Black Hills evolved. Key figures include Fred E. Clary, George H. Jewett, J. W. Haas, W. J. Brennan, Charles Callahan, I. L. Pindell, W. LeRoy Larson, and John W. Martinosky. The office moved locations several times and expanded to rural routes in 1918, growing to a 19-member staff with multiple routes and a contract branch serving Sioux Ordnance Depot. The post office became first class in 1943 and remains vital to Cheyenne County.
