Community Information

The town was called “Little Chicago,” when first settled, but with the merger with a nearby post office, citizens requested the name be changed to Brunswick in honor of the many settlers from Germany. The town was originally platted in the shape of a cross. See some of the past by stopping by the historic school, where you can view a great collection of antiques and relax in a 19th Century Tearoom. Enjoy the home baked goods and shop for quilts made by Brunswick area residents. Recreation opportunities include the Niobrara/Missouri River area for camping, birding, hunting and fishing and the Diamond B Trout Resort in nearby Orchard, NE. The local economy is anchored in ag production and agri-business. Served by the Nebraska Northeastern Railroad and U. S. Highway 20 Brunswick is a shipping center for locally grown grain to U.S. and world markets. Come enjoy a day in Brunswick with all of its small town charm and down home hospitality.
