Gordon is best known within Nebraska for serving as a regional center for the Pine Ridge country. The city lies in Sheridan County on the northwestern High Plains, where the Pine Ridge escarpment introduces pine-covered hills and rugged breaks to the surrounding grasslands. Gordon developed after the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad reached the area in the 1880s, helping establish a trading point for nearby ranching communities. Its setting near the South Dakota border reflects the broad, sparsely settled character of this part of the Great Plains.
