About Norris

Norris was a post office in Hayes County; no source records where in the county it stood. It is not the Norris in Cedar County or the one in southeastern Nebraska.

History

The Norris post office was established on December 5, 1904, and named for George W. Norris, then a congressman (he entered the U.S. Senate in 1913); a 1925 account says the office and the Norris mail route were set up through his influence. It moved to Frontier County in June 1907, came back to Hayes County in November 1927 and was discontinued in 1928.
