history
The North Bend area was originally settled by the Pawnee Native Americans .

They founded a small settlement there, which was first named Emerson and later renamed Franklin . The settlement continued to grow with the influx of new settlers and a sawmill was built. In 1858 the village was renamed Wallace . The name of the place goes back to an entrepreneur who offered to build a library in a town if it bears his name in return.
In October 1867 the land was parceled out by landowner Matthew Cotterell. The Union Pacific Railroad bought a piece of land to expand the First Transcontinental Railroad . On August 12, 1869, the name of the village was changed to North Bend , this name was derived from the station established by the UP, this was the northernmost station of the railway company in the state of Nebraska.
