The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Crescent was originally laid out by Joseph E. Johnson, a Latter-day Saint who also published a paper there in the 1850s. Before the near universal exodus of the Mormons to Utah in 1852, (many left beginning in 1847, but they were the majority of the population until 1852) the area was known as Brownell's Grove and Farmersville.

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Crescent has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Weber Mill in Omaha, 5.5 miles away.
