History

Just as the Missouri River was responsible for the original settlement of Niobrara, it was also responsible for the first move. The village operated the park until approximately 1930 when it was given to the State of Nebraska and was added to the Nebraska Park System. Fortunately, no lives were lost but this disastrous flood influenced the citizens of Niobrara to pick up and move to a new town site west and south of the old site. Benneville Yeakel Shelly marked their claim to an area on the banks of the Missouri. The Niobrara Island Park opened in 1910, until it was given to the State of Nebraska in 1930.[http://www.niobrarane.com/profile.htm Community Profile & Information] The town gained unfortunate notoriety in 1969, when three members of the Sage family — brothers Gary, 22; Gregory, 21; and Kelly, 19 — died in a Vietnam War naval accident.
