History of Marengo

Marengo had a special role in its early days. From 1891 to 1934, it was home to a post office. A post office was very important back then because it was how people sent and received letters, packages, and news. It connected the community to the rest of the world.

The town of Marengo was started in 1889. It was founded by a French explorer named Felix de Trogoff. He was likely one of the first people to settle in that area, helping to build a new community in Nebraska.
