Wee Town, Nebraska

Wee Town is an unincorporated community in Pierce County, Nebraska, United States.[1] From the 1940s-1970s, Wee Town was a stopping point along Route 81, but the population never exceeded 50 individuals. A service station, a tavern, and a cafe were the most important employers.[2] Wee Town lost its main source of income after new interstates were built in the late 1970s, which displaced Route 81 as the main throughways in the region.[3]

Abandoned Gas Station

Wee Town has been noted for its unusual place name.[4]
