Biohazard and Crime Scene Remediation in Alliance, NE

Alliance is a city in Box Butte County, Nebraska, and it serves as the county seat; it sits at the western edge of the Nebraska Sandhills in the Panhandle.

The town began as Grand Lake, but when the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad arrived in 1888, railroad superintendent G. W. Holdrege renamed it Alliance — a short, one-word name near the front of the alphabet that he thought would be better for business — and Alliance was incorporated as a city in 1891.

Alliance took the Box Butte County seat from Hemingford in 1899 after a bitterly fought election, and the courthouse itself was moved to Alliance by railroad.

From 1902, Alliance was headquarters of the Burlington Railroad's Alliance Division for 86 years, and today BNSF Railway funnels large numbers of Powder River Basin coal trains through the city.

The Alliance Army Airfield was built in 1942–43 as a World War II training base; the federal government transferred it to the city in 1953, and it now operates as Alliance Municipal Airport.
