About Huntsman
Huntsman is an unincorporated community in Cheyenne County, Nebraska, roughly five miles north of Sidney. It sits at about 4,280 feet above sea level, in the Mountain time zone.
History
Very little about Huntsman is documented. A post office was established there in 1919 and discontinued in 1934. Its founding date is not recorded in the sources consulted, and no reliable account of the name's origin, population or local institutions could be verified. Rather than fill those gaps, this entry leaves them open. Anyone researching the place should expect to work from county records, plat maps and aerial imagery rather than a published local history.
Huntsman is a small unincorporated community in Cheyenne County, roughly five miles south of Sidney, whose post office operated for fifteen years between 1919 and 1934.
Documentation on Huntsman is thin — its name origin has not been recorded — but the community appears on a 1945 county atlas naming the surrounding Huntsman, Brownson, and Sidney townships, and its name persisted afterward in oil-industry references to the local "Huntsman Field," suggesting it lived on as a geographic landmark even after the post office closed.
