North Platte was established in 1866 when the Union Pacific Railroad was extended to that point.[6] It derives its name from the North Platte River.[7][8]

North Platte was the western terminus of the Union Pacific Railway from December 1866 until the next section to Ogallala was opened the following year.[9] Even though Congress had authorized the building of the Transcontinental Railroad in 1862, it had been extended only as far as Fremont, Nebraska by the end of the 1865 construction season. The 275-mile (443 km) section from Fremont to North Platte was completed in 1866.[10]

House at Scout's Rest Ranch

In the 1880s, Buffalo Bill Cody established his ranch, known as Scout's Rest Ranch, just north of town. It is now a National Historic Landmark.[11]

On July 13, 1929, a black man shot and killed a white police officer. The black man reportedly took his own life, being trapped by a mob.[12][13] This led to the formation of white mobs combing the city, and ordering black residents to leave North Platte. Fearing mob violence, most of North Platte's black residents fled.[14]
