The story
from WikipediaRead it all ↗In 1909, the Union Pacific Railroad completed a branch line through the North Platte Valley. Lemoyne Jacobs, a local landowner, had strongly petitioned Union Pacific to build the line and later allowed the railroad to build it through his property. In 1911, the town of Lemoyne was surveyed and named in honor of Jacobs' active role in bringing the railroad to the area.

That’s true of most small towns. It doesn’t mean Lemoyne has no history, only that no one has written up a nomination. The closest listed place is Dr. Burdette and Myrna Gainsforth House in Ogallala, 10.8 miles away.
