Origins
Valentine, Nebraska was an early frontier town
set among lush grasslands and lakes just north
of the Niobrara River. "America's Heart City"
(as it's nicknamed today) was originally populated
by frontiersmen, ranchers, the occasional outlaw
and nearby Native Americans from the Sioux and
Pawnee tribes. In the early years, buffalo,
deer and antelope in the nearby Sandhills
of Nebraska helped draw settlers and cowboys
to the area.
Valentine was named for Edward Kimball Valentine
(1843-1916), a prominent Nebraska lawyer, judge
and three-term U.S. Congressman. After representing
the area from 1879-1885, the Republican Congressman
returned to private practice.
