About Manley

Set right in the heart of Cass County, Manley is a peaceful village known for its rolling countryside views. It was originally called Summit because of its high vantage point over the surrounding prairie. While it started out in the 1880s as a railroad stop, today it appeals to newcomers looking for space, starry night skies, and a slower pace.

The village has a quiet, close-knit feel anchored by familiar spots like St. Patrick's Church and the scenic Schliefert Iris Gardens. Families have their pick of several strong school districts in neighboring towns like Elmwood, Louisville, and Weeping Water. With Highway 50 right nearby, residents enjoy classic rural peace while keeping an easy commute to both Omaha and Lincoln.
