More on Kearney

Kearney began in the 19th century as a settlement called Dobytown, which is about 2 miles to the southeast of the present town. The town was relocated and renamed after Fort Kearny - which in turn was named after General Stephen W. Kearny. The town was however spelled with an additional "e", said to have been added by mistake.
