The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗The community was originally founded as Harbine straddling the Nebraska-Kansas state border, and under the latter name was platted in 1877 when it was certain that the B&M Railroad would be extended to that point. When it was discovered in 1889 another post office in Nebraska was named Harbine, the community was renamed to Byron in order to avoid repetition. Currently, the south side of the state border is named Harbine, Kansas.

Nothing in Byron is on the National Register yet
That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Byron has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Pawnee Indian Village Site in White Rock, 8.3 miles away.
