West Point, NE

West Point is a friendly community of around 3,500 people set along the Elkhorn River in northeast Nebraska. As the seat of Cuming County, it brings together a rich agricultural tradition with the comfortable pace of small-town living. Founded in the 1850s as the western edge of regional settlement, the town still takes pride in its heritage, from its classic brick storefronts downtown to the historic train depot preserved at the local museum grounds.
