Welcome TO HAIGLER, NEBRASKA

Haigler, Nebraska, located in the southwest corner of the state on the 40th Parallel bordering Kansas on the south and only 6 miles from the Colorado line to its west calls itself "The Cornerstone of Nebraska".

"The location began in 1876 when Jacob Russell Haigler established his cattle ranch near the fork of the Arikaree and Republican Rivers in what was known at that time as Nebraska Territory. The area was unsettled country and still had Indians living nearby. It was near the "Texas Trail" that originated in Texas and ended at the Union Pacific Railroad at Ogalalla, Nebraska 75 miles north. Because of the abundant grass and rolling sandhills to the north and the Arikaree Breaks to the south, it was ideal for raising cattle. "
