About Petersburg

Petersburg is a village in Boone County, Nebraska, United States. The 2020 census counted 332 residents. Petersburg is the site of a memorial to Logan Fontenelle, an Omaha chief who was killed nearby, in a skirmish with Brulé and Arapaho in 1855, at the site of the present-day Olson Nature Preserve. The community was named for John Peters, the original owner of the town site. That mix gives Petersburg a clear local shape within Nebraska, with older layers still visible in current places. The local scoop is a place whose streets, landmarks, and institutions keep its earlier story close to the present.
