138 years ago... Our story started shortly after the Burlington Railroad built a short line between Omaha and Ashland in the summer of 1886. This new line was the cue for the exit of the nearby trading post of Forest City, which originally was a flourishing and busy place, but was doomed by the railroad which passed it by.
July 10th, 1889, 135 years ago...The City of Gretna was incorporated, with the name suggesting Scotland's Gretna Green, the ancestral county of some of the earliest settlers.
To celebrate this joyous occasion, we invite you to visit us at Gretna City Hall to say hi and grab a sweet treat from our friends at Gretna Fareway! Treats will be made available from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM while supplies last.
We look forward to seeing you!
