About Cushing
Tucked away in Howard County, Cushing is a tiny Nebraska village with around three dozen residents. Founded in the late 1800s as a railroad depot, today it is a quiet spot surrounded by open fields and rolling farmland. The community is strictly residential, so locals make the short drive to nearby hubs like St. Paul or Grand Island for groceries, schools, and everyday essentials. For those who value privacy, open space, and a deeply relaxed pace of life, Cushing offers true rural solitude.
