Welcome to Huxley ...

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

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


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

While we don't have a date for the founding of Huxley, you might consider that their post office opened  in 1879.

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

The Area Code where Huxley was located: 308

Adding Huxley to Our Gazetteer ...

The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Huxley was in the document titled List of Post Offices from Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<3>

From that list, the Huxley post office opened in 1879.

We also found Huxley on a map titled Rand McNally Map of Nebraska (1895).

For more details, see References and Mentions for Huxley.

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 Huxley, 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 Custer, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
