Unattended Death and Biohazard Cleanup in Cedar Bluffs, NE

Cedar Bluffs is an incorporated village in North Cedar Township, Saunders County, in eastern Nebraska.

Before it was a village, Cedar Bluffs was a point on three of America's great westward routes: the Mormon Trail, the Oregon Trail, and the California Trail.

Cedar Bluffs was established in 1886, when the Chicago & North Western Railroad was extended to that point.

The village was named from a prominent river bluff covered with cedar trees, as documented in Lillian Fitzpatrick's Nebraska Place-Names.

The population of Cedar Bluffs was 615 at the 2020 census, exactly the same count the village recorded in the 2000 census.

At the 2010 census, Cedar Bluffs had 610 people living in 231 households and 165 families, with an average household size of 2.64.

Cedar Bluffs has been remarkably stable in size for over a century: every census since 1910 has counted between 500 and 632 residents, with the peak of 632 reached in 1980.

The village's first census in 1890 counted just 181 residents, more than doubling to 371 by 1900 after the railroad arrived.

Cedar Bluffs occupies only about 0.39 square miles of land, all of it land with no water area, at an elevation of about 1,296 feet.

The village lies along Nebraska Highway 109 in the Platte River valley country of Saunders County, whose county seat is Wahoo.
