Nebraska was a community settled in 1878 about 6.0 miles east of Saline.
Nebraska got swallowed up by the ever-growing population of Pittsfield Township; so much so, that the village ceased to exist and there is nothing left to show where it once was. Just neighborhoods and houses. The township was organized in 1834 and named ‘Pitt’, suggested by Ezra Carpenter.
According to the Pittsfield web page, the township was named for William Pitt (1708-1778), “who was elected to parliament in 1735. During his time in office, he accused his government of neglecting the two million people in the America colonies. His concern for America lasted his whole life. ‘Pittsfield’ was adopted in 1839 and it became a charter township in 1972.”
