EcoWater Nebraska, providing for the water needs of Blair, NE for over half a century

Named after the John Insley Blair, the railroad magnate, Blair Nebraska was established in 1869 when the Sioux City and Pacific Railroad decided to cross the Missouri river at that specific location. Over 1,000 acres were purchased by Blair and the town was quickly established as his namesake, to support the growing population. The town now has the Memorial Community Hospital and, as it is the county seat, there is also a courthouse.

Blair, Nebraska is situated on the Eastern edge of Nebraska and has a community of approximately 8,000 over an area of 5.51 square miles.

In 1884, the predominantly Danish community raised over $3,000 to establish a school, which was the forerunner of Dana College. This community growth established a need for a proper city water system, which was put into place. In order to improve drainage on the southern side of the town, the South Creek was straightened when men with hand shovels dug out the creek bed. With both the river and the railroad, Blair prospered with a number of industries including a mill producing livestock feed and Maintop flour, a foundry, patent medicines laboratory and a plant producing poultry incubators. Throughout the years, Blair has been home to a seed corn plant, a publishing house, a canning company and a spark plug manufacturing plant.

Today, Blair has a modern shopping center and a progressive business district. There are schools and colleges, a golf course, spacious parks and a municipal airport. The natural beauty of the area has been enhanced by careful landscaping into the existing state arboretum system.

As nice as life in Blair NE can be for the local residents, the Missouri river and chlorine from the municipal metropolitan supply can create a number of issues.
