A Look Back at Sedan
Sedan has a simple but interesting history. It was once an important spot because two railroad tracks met there. This meeting point was called a junction.
Back in 1878, Sedan had a few places where people could go. There was a store and a saloon, both in the same building. There was also a depot, which is like a small station for the trains.
In 1925, Sedan was a very small place. Only 27 people lived there at that time.
