Beemer is located in Cuming County off of US Hwy 275, east of Norfolk, between Wisner and West Point. This community is also situated near a State Campground near the Elkhorn River.The population estimate for July 1, 1998 was 674, an increase of 2 since 1990. During the 1880s there was talk of bringing the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missouri Valley Railroad up the Elkhorn Valley, with the hope that it would one day cross northern Nebraska to the Black Hills. A.D.Beemer, who owned a half section of land near the Rock Creek Mill, persuaded George Canfield and K.C.Morehouse, to join him in developing this new area. Assured by the railroad of the route they were taking, Beemer laid out a town and built a depot. He also built a new post office, which Congressman E.K.Valentine had the postal service renamed "Beemer," in honor of the promoter and founder of the town. Today, the small town of Beemer is "beeming" with outdoor opportunities.
