About Farwell

Farwell is a village in Howard County, Nebraska, United States. The 2020 census counted 138 residents. Farwell is part of the Grand Island, Nebraska Micropolitan Statistical Area. Farwell was originally called Posen, and under the latter name was established in 1887 by a colony of Polish settlers. The short version is that Farwell carries an earlier story into the places people know and use now. That is the local read on Farwell: its past remains attached to the places people use now. Some incoming Danish settlers soon found the name to their distaste, so in 1889 it was changed to Farwell, the Danish word for "good-bye".
