RALSTON Resources Ralston History

The early yearsThe Ralston of today is on land

that once was owned by Omaha’s first doctor, Dr. George Miller.

According to Alice Shooter’s “Early History of Ralston, Nebraska, 1865-1950,” in May 1907 Dr. Miller sold 282.35 acres to investors, who in turn sold the land to the Ralston In-vestment Co. (of which the investors were officers). The sale needed to be corrected after it was discovered that it contained land leased for the icehouse on Seymore Lake and a strip of land that served as an approach to the lake.

The corrected deed was for 272.13 acres.

May 1908 brought the incorpora-tion of the Ralston Investment Com-pany

Eventually the name was changed to Ralston Townsite Company, which began selling city lots in 1908.

Twenty new homes were built that year.

Ralston became incorporated in 1912.

BankruptcyRalston holds a unique

place in history. It is the first city in the United States to have declared bankruptcy.

On Dec. 7, 1934, papers were signed by the mayor and city board members declaring the city was in-solvent.

On Nov. 5, 1935, a celebration of sorts took place.

The mayor and other city leaders publicly burned bonds worth $240,000.

The city was free of debt and able to move forward.

The bankruptcy earned the city a spot in “Rip-ley’s Believe it or Not.”

RALSTON ResourcesRalston History

Seymour LakeAccording to Alice

Shooter’s “Early History of Ralston, Nebraska, 1865-1950,” Seymour Lake was formed in 1892.

A group of businessmen, drilling for oil or water, struck an artesian well.

At the height of its popu-larity as a destination, the grounds at the lake included a clubhouse, bath house, water slides and amusement park.

Passenger street carsIn 1908, a franchise was

granted to investors for creation of a railcar line from Ralston to Omaha.

The General Construction Company was given four acres of land near Seymour Lake to erect an electric light and powerhouse.

The following year, General Construction Company assigned a contract to the Nebraska Trac-

tion & Power Company for con-struction of a street railway sys-tem in Ralston.

Nebraska Traction & Power Company sought to construct an interurban railway from Seymore Park to Omaha.

Construction began by August 1909 and was complete about a year later.

Another line, which ran from

Omaha to Papillion and passed through Ralston, was completed in 1912.

Eventually, popularity of the street railway system waned as cars became more popular.

In 1926, the streetcar operator switched to operating buses. The rail lines were eventually aban-doned.

RALSTON Resources Ralston History

The Ralston Townsite Company loaned money to Charles A. Ralston & LeBaron of Chicago, according to Alice Shooter’s book, for the construc-tion of Ralston Car Works.

Sitting on 35 acres, the firm known as Locomotive Cars & Contractors was to employ 400 people in locomo-tive construction and a railway repair shop.

But the four buildings that were to make up the car works were never constructed for lack of capital, ac-cording to Shooter’s book.

Yet investors involved with creat-ing the town were so impressed with C.A. Ralston that the townsite com-pany was named in his honor.

Thus, the village of Deerfield be-came known as Ralston.

1913 TornadoOn March 23, 1913, a tornado tore through the prospering town,

hitting downtown hard, destroying several buildings and taking seven lives, according to Shooter’s book.

The icehouse at Seymour Lake was damaged, but much of the ice remained intact.

Factories, stores, lumberyards and the post office were all affect-ed, many destroyed.

The same tornado later hit Omaha, killing more than 100 and de-stroying many buildings.

What’s in a nameDeerfield was the original name

of the village that later officially be-came known as Ralston.
