About Nonpareil

Nonpareil is a ghost town in northwestern Box Butte County, about 6½ miles west-northwest of Hemingford.

History

First called Buchanan, the town was renamed Nonpareil by Eugene Heath of the newspaper The Grip, after a very small size of printing type, because the settlement was so small. It was the first county seat of Box Butte County. Its post office opened in 1886, closed in 1894, reopened in 1925 and closed for good in 1946.
