Chadron: Pine Ridge Foothills and the State College
Chadron lies in the northwestern corner of Nebraska, at the edge of the Pine Ridge escarpment where the Great Plains give way to the forested buttes and canyons that spill north into South Dakota. The town was founded in 1885 along the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad and named for Louis Chartran, a French-Canadian fur trader whose name was anglicized when the post office was established.
Chadron State College, founded in 1911, is the only public four-year institution in the western half of Nebraska. It enrolls about 3,000 students and is known for its rodeo program, range management curriculum, and teacher education. The campus sits on a hill at the west end of town, and the college's presence supports the local economy along with ranching, tourism, and state government agencies.
Fort Robinson State Park lies about twenty-five miles west of Chadron. The former military post was where Crazy Horse, the Oglala Lakota leader, was killed in 1877 while in army custody. The post remained active until 1948 and now preserves original buildings, the site of Crazy Horse's death, and a large working ranch. The Museum of the Fur Trade east of Chadron documents the Plains fur trade era through artifacts and a reconstructed trading post.
