West Point

Few towns in Nebraska have a past as closely bound to serving as a county seat as West Point. Established in the 1850s, it became the seat of Cuming County, a role that still gives its compact centre a civic purpose beyond its size. The community stands in northeastern Nebraska near the Elkhorn River, within a landscape shaped by fields, pasture and the broad, open horizon of the Great Plains. The Cuming County Courthouse remains a focal point downtown, while local life reflects the agricultural economy that has long supported this part of the state. West Point is a practical stop for understanding Nebraska’s small-town county-seat tradition. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across West Point and northeastern Nebraska.
