History

The city was named forSidney Dillon, president of theUnion Pacific Railroad. It was founded in 1867 by theUnion Pacificand grew up around the military base ofFort Sidney(also known as Sidney Barracks), where soldiers were stationed to guard thetranscontinental railroadagainst potential Native American attacks.

The town became the southern terminus of theSidney Black Hills Stage Roadwhich used Clarke’s Bridge (nearBridgeport, Nebraska) to allow military and civilian traffic to reachFort Robinson,Red Cloud Agency,Spotted Tail Agency,Custer, South Dakota, andDeadwood, South Dakotain the late 1870s and 1880s.

When the railroad reached Sidney, it was the end of a sub-division of the rail line and played host to aroundhouse, repair facilities, and a railroad hotel for passengers.

Sidney is home to one of theOld WestsBoot Hillcemeteries; many of those interred there were soldiers from the fort.

The former headquarters forCabela’swas located in Sidney until 2017, when Cabela’s was acquired byBass Pro Shops. Approximately 2,000 jobs were eliminated, while about 120 were relocated to the Bass Pro Shops headquarters inSpringfield, Missouri.

Sidney is toward the western edge of the Midwestern wheat-growing region. West of the city, the land is increasingly used for cattle ranching. Sidney is located alongLodgepole Creek, which is along present-dayInterstate 80.

The city is presently located at the junction ofU.S. Route 385with I-80, and its location approximately halfway betweenCheyenne, Wyoming, andNorth Platte, Nebraska, has encouraged the growth of the city as a major transportation service area on the Interstate. Because the I-80/US 385 interchange is located several miles southeast of the town center, a new commercial area has developed, including truck stops, convenience stores, the building that housed Cabela’s former world headquarters, shopping centers, motels, restaurants, and other commercial enterprises. In recent years, the city has seen further growth with the construction ofwind farmsin this portion of theNebraska Panhandleand adjacent areas ofColorado, includingPeetz.
