Lewiston

Lewiston was platted in 1886 when the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railroad was extended to the site, in an area historically known as Turkey Creek precinct. Its exact name origin is genuinely unresolved — the 1925 reference work Nebraska Place-Names hedges that it was "probably directly or indirectly named for Lewiston, Maine, though possibly for a local resident." A small, steadily shrinking railroad-era village in the county's northwest corner, Lewiston remains an incorporated community with its own village government.

Lewiston, platted in 1886 along the Rock Island Railroad, sits in Pawnee County's northwest corner.
