Sprague is a village in Lancaster County, Nebraska, United States. It is part of the Lincoln, Nebraska Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 136 at the 2020 census.
In 1865, a settlement called Centerville established a post office in the area, but never grew into a sustainable community. [4] Sprague was established in 1888 when the Missouri Pacific Railroad was extended to that point and was named after a local Civil War veteran, William Sprague, and his wife, Amy. [4] [5] In 1894, a station named "Martell" was established and platted by the Rock Island Railroad nearby, but the village was never incorporated. [4] Sprague was incorporated in 1913, when it was no longer required there be a population of at least 200 people. [4]
In 1912 and again in 1927, fires broke out and burned down much of the business sector of Sprague. [5] In 1963, the Bluestem Conservation Dam was built in the area, creating a 325-acre lake. [4] [6] A conservation area was created around Bluestem Lake, creating 742 acres of recreational area. [6] The lake increased numbers of retirement communities and recreational homes in the area, though it remains primarily rural and agricultural. [4]
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.10 square miles (0.26 km2), all land. [7]
