In 1857, 35 German settlers left Davenport, Iowa and headed west to Nebraska to start a new settlement in an area of land known by French traders as La Grande Island. It was called this because it was a big island, surrounded by the North and South Platte Rivers. Part of the reason for this expedition was because the Railroad had to have stops every 150 miles so that railroad engines could refuel. On July 4th, 1857 they reached their destination and had built more-permanent housing by September using local timber. Over the next 9 years, the settlers had to battle many hardships including blizzards and conflicts with the local Indian populations. A fire destroyed the first settlement at the end of the 9 years that forced the population to move the settlement north of the North Platte River, which is the present location of the town today. While no longer an island, they kept the name. -- Source: Wikipedia.com What to do in NewQuestCity.comTM: Learn about Grand Island. See Grand Island photos. Join our Discussion Forums.
