Welcome to London ...

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

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

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

While we don't have a date for the founding of London, you might consider that their post office opened in 1867.

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

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 London, 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 Nemaha, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
<3>	When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 402 code has been Overlayed with the 531 area code. New phone numbers in the London area will be assigned with one of these codes: 402 or 531. As a result, placing a call in the London area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number).
