Nebraska is a small, unincorporated community located in Campbell Township, Jennings County, Indiana. An unincorporated community is a place where people live, but it doesn't have its own local government like a city or town.

History of Nebraska, Indiana

The community of Nebraska was officially planned and mapped out in 1856. This process is called "platting." It means someone drew a detailed map showing where streets, lots, and buildings would be.

It is believed that Nebraska was named after the Nebraska Territory. At that time, the Nebraska Territory was a very important and much-discussed topic across the United States. Many people were talking about new territories and how they would be organized.

For many years, Nebraska had its own post office. This was a place where people could send and receive mail. However, the Nebraska post office closed down in 2002.
