Scottsbluff, Nebraska

Scottsbluff was founded in 1899 by the Lincoln Land Company, a subsidiary of the Burlington Railroad.{{Cite web|title=Trains and Cranes: Building a Community--Scotts Bluff National Monument, Nebraska: A Discover Our Shared Heritage Travel Itinerary|url=https://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/scotts_bluff/essay_community.html|access-date=2020-06-10|website=www.nps.gov}} By 1900, the Burlington Railroad laid tracks into the town and placed a discarded boxcar next to the tracks as a temporary depot. Scottsbluff was the first town in the region to be located along a railroad line, resulting in some older businesses relocating from Gering to Scottsbluff.

In the Lakota language, Scottsbluff is called pȟaŋkéska wakpá otȟúŋwahe ("Platte River City", lit. "abalone river city").{{cite book |last=Ullrich |first=Jan F. |title=New Lakota Dictionary |url=http://www.lakotadictionary.org/nldo.php |edition=2nd |year=2014 |publisher=Lakota Language Consortium |location=Bloomington, IN |isbn=978-0-9761082-9-0}}
