Norden, Nebraska
Census-designated place in Nebraska, United States From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Norden is an unincorporated community in Keya Paha County, Nebraska, United States.[1]
An early settler being a native of Norden, Germany, caused the name to be selected.[2]
A post office was established at Norden in 1884, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1960.[3]
The Norden Dance Hall was built by hand from 1929 to 1931 — at the outset of the Great Depression.[4] The hall stands as a gathering place where generations of families have socialized, bonded and danced. For example, the hall has hosted the town's annual barn dance for more than 120 years.[5]
In June 2012, much of the town was burned by the Fairfield Creek Fire.[6] One of the few structures to avoid the fire was the dance hall.[7]
