Angus, Nebraska

Angus is an unincorporated hamlet 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. A small piece of wall with a window remained as late as 2006, but may have fallen since. Google Maps never bothered to image Angus.

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 the whole Nuckrolls County, and was a town with a significant local economy. A Train even passed through the area, supplying until the 1980s Edgar and Superior, but its deposit in the area was closed back in 1942.^[3]

In 1970 all eligible voters of the nowadays hamlet decided to unanimously vote to abolish this towns status as an incorporated village. The last day of the Post Office was July 18, 1975.^[3]
