History

In 1887, Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway built a branch line from Neva (3 miles west of Strong City) through Manchester to Superior, Nebraska.

Manchester was originally called Keystone, and under the latter name laid out in 1887. The name Manchester was adopted by 1890.[8]

The post office in Manchester was discontinued in 1993.[9]
