Arbor is an unincorporated community in Lancaster County, Nebraska, United States. [1]

History

Arbor may be named from Arbor Lodge, the estate of Julius Sterling Morton, the 3rd United States Secretary of Agriculture. [2] However, another source speculates that Arbor was likely named for the trees lining the town site. [3] Arbor had a post office from 1894 until 1900. [4]
