About Whitney

Home to around 60 residents, Whitney is a quiet rural village in northwestern Nebraska’s Dawes County. The community got its start in the late 1880s along the railroad and has remained a peaceful, small-scale settlement surrounded by open country. Locals enjoy easy access to fishing and boating at nearby Whitney Lake, while the larger town of Chadron sits just a short drive away for daily shopping, schools, and healthcare.
