About Battle Creek

Tucked into northeast Nebraska's Elkhorn River Valley, Battle Creek is a welcoming small town just a short drive west of Norfolk. The community got its name from an 1859 standoff that ended peacefully before any fighting took place. Today, life here centers around quiet neighborhoods, local parks, and the scenic creek running through the valley. It offers an easygoing rural lifestyle with quick highway connections to regional jobs, schools, and shopping.
