Creighton, Nebraska . . .
is located in the southern part of Knox County on the present
day Highway 59.
In April of 1871 about twenty families arrived at what is now
the town of Creighton. This was the second of two locations that had been selected by the
"Bruce Colony". The first had been rejected by many in the group. The families
of Joseph H. Bruce, Miner W. Bruce, Orin A. H. Bruce, C. Cheatham, W. R. Cross, Charles H.
Emerson, Rev. Isadore Hammerly, C. H. Lightner, J. Lowell, James Steel, A. L. Towle, and
Sebastian Zeph were part of this first group. The following year approximately twenty five
more families would arrived. Those included the families of Billings Davis, Harris
Hufftle, and a Mr. Slover.
In June of 1881, the first train arrived, which would ensure the existence of
Creighton.
