Niobrara is one of the oldest towns in the state and is located directly on the Lewis & Clark Trail, is on the Outlaw Trail Scenic Byway and on the stretch federally designated as a recreational and scenic river. Niobrara is also known as one of the newest towns in the state because it was relocated twice due to the encroaching waters of the Missouri river, most recently in the mid 70s.
Agriculture and tourism are the backbone of the business community here. Niobrara has beautiful scenery and many, many assets including hunting, fishing, golfing and boating. Another plus are Niobrara’s schools, whose teachers and students have recently both been recognized by the state for outstanding efforts in testing and assessments.
