History

Tekamah was founded in October 1854 by Benjamin R. Folsom, and incorporated on March 14, 1855. The name is derived from the Omaha language, meaning “big cottonwood”. Its development was stimulated by the construction of railroads through the area, such as the Chicago & North Western, which have since been taken out of Tekamah.

The town has seen a resurgence in recent years with the appearance of small businesses such as Chatterbox Brews, Second Chance Boutique, The Tipsy Pig, and Gotta Get Some Coffee.
