History

The population was 1,107 at the 2000 United States Census census. The town soon gained a reputation as one of the toughest in the west, with saloons outnumbering churches. The trackage that was laid by the FE&MV was acquired by the Chicago & North Western in 1903; Dakota, Minnesota & Eastern previously operated on the line & is now operated by the Canadian Pacific Railway. It was incorporated in 1886 and was named for the late Captain Emmet Crawford who had previously been stationed at nearby Fort Robinson.

Established in 1886 as a new community along the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad just outside the Fort Robinson military reservation, Crawford was named in honor of Captain Emmet Crawford, formerly stationed at the nearby post and who had just recently been killed by Mexican irregulars along the US-Mexico border. Crawford is a city in Dawes County, Nebraska County, Nebraska, United States.
