Welcome to Midvale ...

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

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


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

While we don't have a date for the founding of Midvale, you might consider that their post office opened  in 1885.

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

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

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 Midvale, 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 Brown, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>Area code (531) is an overlay for area code (402).
