urley, founded in 1913, is located on US Highway 385 approximately 12 miles north of Interstate 80 at Sidney’s East Interchange.  Settlers began arriving in the area as early as 1884.  The construction of the Burlington-Northern Railroad was completed around 1900.  The first Gurley Depot Station was opened in 1915.  The community was named for Fred R.
