History

Alma officially incorporated in July 1881. Telephone service reached Alma in June 1899. The town is near the Harlan County Reservoir.

Alma was founded in the spring of 1871 by a group of Union Pacific railroad laborers originally from Cheyenne, Wyoming. The new artificial lake, Harlan County Lake, became one of Alma's top recreation destinations. Alma's status as county seat was challenged by residents of Orleans, Nebraska but an 1884 Nebraska Supreme Court decision affirmed Alma's status as seat of Harlan County.
