Welcome to Luella ...

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

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


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

While we don't have a date for the founding of Luella, you might consider that their post office opened  in 1891.

From that list, the Luella post office opened in 1891.

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 Luella, 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 Sheridan, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
