About Danbury

Danbury is a Red Willow County village whose post office opened in 1888. The first postmaster reportedly named it for Danbury, Connecticut, his former hometown, giving a Nebraska settlement a direct New England namesake. Red Willow County lists Danbury among its villages alongside Bartley, Indianola, Lebanon, and McCook, with McCook serving as county seat. The community's present setting is a small rural node in southwestern Nebraska, defined by county services, a long postal history, and open agricultural country.
