Wilcox Area Cameras
The Wilcox townsite traces to 1872, when Charles Walker established a ranch and mail-route station there, but the modern village dates to 1886, when businessman/lawyer Henry Wilcox of Alma, Nebraska, and a partner bought the 240-acre site and founded the town just ahead of the Burlington & Missouri River Railroad's 1887 arrival; the Bank of Wilcox opened with $10,000 in capital that same year.
Wilcox is a village with a 2020 census population of 331, ZIP code 68982. The town built its first windmill and board sidewalks in 1888, ran an 85-acre horse- and greyhound-racing track starting in 1889, and got electric power and light service in 1916. It has produced five Nebraska state legislators over its history; rail service ended in the mid-1980s, and Wilcox today functions as a small agricultural community.
