Few communities in Nebraska have a history as closely tied to the ranching economy as Hay Springs. Set on the High Plains of northwestern Nebraska, the town lies near the transition between the grass-covered Sandhills and the Pine Ridge country to the north. Its name recalls the natural springs in the area that supported abundant grass and hay, resources that mattered greatly to early travellers and livestock operations. Hay Springs remains a small Sheridan County community shaped by open range, agriculture and the wide horizons of Nebraska’s interior.
