Sidney is located in
Cheyenne County (of which it is the county seat), just north of the Colorado state line in west Nebraska between
Chappell and
Kimball along Hwy 30 near the Lodgepole River.
The town was named for Sidney Dillon who was then the president of the Union Pacific. 1867 was the year in which Sidney was first laid out.
