Holdrege: Phelps County Seat and Swedish Settlement
Holdrege sits in south-central Nebraska, about thirty miles south of Kearney and fifteen miles north of the Kansas border. The town was founded in 1883 as a division point on the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad and named for George Ward Holdrege, a Burlington executive. It serves as the seat of Phelps County and grew as the commercial center for a heavily Swedish immigrant farming district.
The Nebraska Prairie Museum, operated by the Phelps County Historical Society, preserves artifacts from the Swedish settlement era as well as materials from Camp Atlanta, a World War II prisoner-of-war camp that held German soldiers just south of Holdrege. The camp housed up to 3,000 POWs who worked on area farms during the war. The museum's collection includes camp artifacts and documentation from that period.
CHI Health Good Samaritan operates a hospital in Holdrege, and Bruning State Bank keeps a regional office. Allmand Brothers manufactures light towers and industrial equipment at a Holdrege plant. The surrounding Phelps County, heavily irrigated from the Republican River system and the Ogallala Aquifer, produces corn, soybeans, and cattle as its primary agricultural products. Swedish Days each June commemorates the community's heritage with food, music, and crafts.
