Welcome to Phebe ...

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

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


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

While we don't have a date for the founding of Phebe, you might consider that their post office opened  in 1886.

Adding Phebe to Our Gazetteer ...

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

From that list, the Phebe post office opened in 1886.

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

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 Phebe, 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 Perkins, have changed over time, we recommend the Atlas of Historical County Boundaries.
