A Look Back: Table Rock's History
Table Rock was officially planned and mapped out in 1855. It got its name from a big rock formation near the Nemaha River. Sadly, that rock formation is gone now.
The village didn't grow much at first. But around 1882, the Atchison and Nebraska Railroad was built through the town. This helped Table Rock to finally become a busy and successful place.
