About Elk Creek

Founded as a railroad stop in 1873, Elk Creek is a quiet rural village in southeast Nebraska surrounded by scenic farmland. Named for the creek where wild elk once roamed, the town offers an easygoing, neighborly atmosphere, with local students attending the Johnson County Central school district. Deep beneath the surrounding fields lies one of the nation's largest rare-earth mineral deposits, adding a bit of unique local trivia to what is otherwise a peaceful, tight-knit country community.
