About Edgar

Edgar is a quiet, friendly town of around 400 people set among the rolling farmland of Clay County in south-central Nebraska. Like many towns in the area, it got its start in the 1870s as a railroad stop and quickly grew into a hub for local farming families. Today, Edgar offers a relaxed, small-town lifestyle where neighbors know each other and the pace of daily life is comfortably slow.
