History
Keenesburg was originally established in 1882 as a railroad livestock stop named after a local homesteader and rancher, Les Keene. Unlike nearby rail towns that served as water stops, Keene was built primarily as a place for trains to pick up cattle on yearly drives. The Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad built a depot in 1906, and the town applied for a post office. Because a post office named “Keene, Nebraska” already existed, the postmistress cleverly tweaked the name to “Keenesburg”
Throughout the 1920s, the town grew to support a local newspaper (the Keene Valley Sun), a bank, and a lumberyard. The completion of the Henrylyn Irrigation System in the 1920s and the digging of early irrigation wells in the 1930s allowed local farmers to drastically increase their crop yields.
