The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗Graham, one of the earliest settlements in the Platte Purchase was founded in 1839. It was originally called Jacksonville, but was platted as Graham in 1856. The present name is after Col. Amos Graham, a local clerk. In 1860, under the first postmaster, the post office briefly went by the name of Brownsville until the mid-1860s. A post office called Graham has been in operation since 1852, however was out of service from 2014 to 2020 due to the building being an extremely hazardous location.
Simpson's College was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978.
