Welcome to minatare®!
The name is derived from a sub branch of Sioux Indians called "Minnataree" who called this their home. Established in 1887, Minatare has a long heriatage in the agriculture industry. Located along Nebraska's conestaga trails, Minatare also shares in the rich history of the North Platte Valley. Indians once claimed this area as hunting grounds. According to local legend, a sub branch of Sioux called "Minnataree" were among those that made forays along the river. Rut marks in the meadows east of town suggest the possible route of Mormon hand carts as they crossed the plains in 1847. Shortly after Nebraska became a state, George W.Fairfield was sent to survey the land from York west to Yellowstone. The natural beauty and availability of good water and soil made this his choice of all he surveyed. In 1885 he filed claim to land at this location. When the Burlington Railroad arrived in 1900, it missed the town of Tabor, which consisted of a sod post office, general store, and four houses. So Tabor shifted its location and changed its name to "Minatare", an Indian word meaning "clear water." Established for irrigation purposes, Lake Minatare provides a sizable recreation area that serves as a game refuge during the winter and sports the only inter-marine lighthouse in the United States.
