Why this spot
1855-1870 territorial town and stage stop
Jalapa City was incorporated by the first Nebraska territorial legislature in 1855 on Maple Creek south of present Hooper, and its post office opened in 1859. When the Union Pacific reached the Platte Valley, stage routes were consolidated and the post office was moved to Hooper in 1870.View source →
