Welcome to Ralton ...

Adding Ralton to Our Gazetteer ...

The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Ralton was on a map titled Map of Nebraska (from Rand McNally, 1895).

We also found Ralton mentioned on a train schedule titled Union Pacific Railroad Time Tables (September 1924).

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 Ralton, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
