Burress is a small place in Nebraska, located in a county called Fillmore County. It's what we call an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and maybe some businesses, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town does. Instead, it's managed by the county.
The Story of Burress: How It Began
Burress started way back in 1887. It was founded when a railroad line was built and reached that spot. The community was named after a person named J. Q. Burress, who owned the land where the community was built.
