Gering: The Bluff's South Side
Gering sits directly across the North Platte River from Scottsbluff and shares the same valley economy. The town was founded in 1887 and named for Martin Gering, one of the original settlers. It serves as the seat of Scotts Bluff County despite being smaller than Scottsbluff; the county government offices occupy a complex near downtown, a legacy of the original county seat designation.
Scotts Bluff National Monument rises on the south edge of town, its layered sandstone and siltstone formations worn into the distinctive shape that guided Oregon Trail travelers through the North Platte Valley. The monument's visitor center sits at the base of the bluff, and a paved road ascends 800 feet to overlooks at the summit. The five-mile Oregon Trail Pathway that runs through the park preserves visible wagon ruts cut into the prairie.
Western Sugar Cooperative operates a beet receiving station in Gering, feeding the main processing plant across the river in Scottsbluff. The Oregon Trail Days festival, held each July, is billed as the oldest continuous community festival in Nebraska, running every year since 1921. The Legacy of the Plains Museum east of town preserves agricultural and ranching equipment from the valley's history.
