Welcome to Empire ...

So far, we found very little information about Empire. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>

We've added Empire to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Empire - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Empire, please Contact Us.


While we don't have the exact location of Empire , we believe that it would have been located within present day Fillmore County<2>.

While we don't have a date for the founding of Empire, you might consider that their post office opened  in 1871.

Time Zone: The area where Empire was located is in the Central Time Zone (CST/CDT) and observes daylight saving time

If Empire still existed, it would have been in the (402) & (531)<3> area codes.

Adding Empire to Our Gazetteer ...

We originally found mention of Empire in the GNIS. For more information, see the Referenced GNIS Codes section on our Miscellaneous Page.

From our notes, the earliest published mention we've found for Empire was in the document titled List of Post Offices from Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<4>

From that list, the Empire post office opened in 1871.

Footnotes ...

<1>We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Empire, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
<2>If you're interested in how the shape of Nebraska's counties, including Fillmore, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>Area code (531) is an overlay for area code (402).
