GURLEY NEBRASKA
|
Gurley, founded in 1913, is located on U.S. Highway 385 approximately 12 miles north of Interstate 80 Sidney's east Interchange. Settlers had begun arriving in the area as early as 1884. The construction of the Burlington-Northern Railroad was completed around 1900. The first Gurley Depot Station was opened in 1915. The community was named for Fred R. Gurley, who was then superintendent of the Burlington-Northern Railroad. The Gurley school operated for several years as a K - 12 system, consolidating with neighboring Dalton in 1978 to form the Leyton Public School. K - 8 is conducted in Gurley. Homes: 83
