Angus, Nebraska

Angus is an unincorporated community in Nuckolls County, Nebraska, United States, located approximately seven miles south of Edgar. A sod house was built there in 1967 to celebrate the town's centennial.

The community was named after J. B. Angus, a railroad man.[1]

History

The area in the early 1900s was known for the local car company by Charles Marion Fuller, known as "Angus Automobile Company".[2][3] Over 600 cars were produced between the fall of 1907 and the Spring of 1909, with dealerships reaching as far as the city of Denver.[3]

Angus, from the early 1920's to the later 1940's, had the first cement swimming pool in Nuckrolls County, and was a town with a significant local economy.

In 1970, all eligible voters decided to unanimously vote to disincorporate. The post office closed on July 18, 1975.[3]
