Wheeler, Nebraska
Wheeler is a ghost town in Wheeler County, Nebraska, in the United States.[1]
History
Wheeler was originally called Baird, but when it was discovered that another place called Baird already existed, the town was renamed to avoid repetition.[2]
A post office was established at Wheeler in 1881, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1934.[3]
