EcoWater Nebraska, Serving the Water Needs of West Point, NE for More Than Fifty years
Originally named New Philadelphia by the Nebraska Settlement Association in 1857, West Point was soon renamed due to its location as the most western outpost in the Elkhorn Valley. Over the years, the city has been home to a feed mill, foundry, a match company, a creamery, a furniture manufacturer and a soda company.
West Point, covering an area of roughly 2.7 square miles on the east Elkhorn River bank, is situated on the Eastern edge of Nebraska with a community of approximately 3,300 people and is county seat of Cuming County,
The growth of West Point was rather modest until the arrival of the railroad in 1870. The line had regular runs between Missouri Valley, Iowa and West Point via the Sioux City and Pacific Railway. However, the railroad era abruptly ended during the 1980s when many areas of track were washed out by heavy rains between Hooper and Norfolk. This proved to be not economically viable to repair, forcing the discontinuation of the line. The old depot is now a museum for the Historical Society of Cuming County.
Today, West Point is well known across the state for their livestock exhibitions, but there are a lot of community activities for residents and visitors, including baseball, musicals and horse shows. However, the old water distribution system, agricultural activity and high levels of water hardness can create drinking water issues for residents.
