Communities :: Potter

Potter is one of the oldest communities in Western Nebraska and today has a population of 388, located on US Highway 30 and Interstate 80, 16 miles west of Sidney. It was named after General Joseph S. Potter, Union Pacific Railroad Director. Union Pacific built a station house at Potter in 1907 which also served as a post office, school house and land development office.

Potter was incorporated as a village in 1912. A K-12 school system continues at Potter-Dix Public Schools (in Kimball County) and Potter-Dix Public Schools (in Cheyenne County).  Visit Potter's website for more information.
