About Red Cloud

Red Cloud is a city in and the county seat of Webster County, Nebraska, United States. The 2020 census counted 962 residents. The region of present-day Red Cloud was intermittently occupied and used as hunting grounds by the Pawnees until 1833. In that year, a treaty was signed in which the Pawnees surrendered their lands south of the Platte River. The city owns and operates a swimming pool in its park, and it maintains a nine-hole golf course that is claimed to be the third-best such course in the state. The through line in Red Cloud is the way its history and present-day settings remain visible on the same map.
