Biohazard Cleanup Near Ewing Historic District Ewing, NE

Ewing is an incorporated village in southeastern Holt County, Nebraska, along U.S. Highway 275 in the Elkhorn River valley country.

Ewing was platted in 1882 when the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad was extended to that point.

The village was named for James Ewing, its postmaster at the time it was founded.

Ewing peaked at 705 residents in the 1950 census, when it was one of Holt County's larger railroad towns.

The 2010 census counted 387 people in 165 households in Ewing, and the 2020 census counted 373 residents.

Ewing covers 0.45 square miles at an elevation of about 1,850 feet, near the edge of the Nebraska Sandhills, a region Holt County bills as the "Gateway to the Sandhills."

Ewing's St. Peter de Alcantara Catholic Church and Rectory, at 220 U.S. Highway 275, has been documented in a National Register of Historic Places registration.

In 2020 Ewing's own school district merged with the Clearwater and Orchard districts to form Summerland Public Schools, after Ewing voters approved the consolidation bond by a 360-to-38 margin.

The consolidated Summerland school, built under a $34.3 million bond issue, opened in October 2021 on a new campus between the three communities and serves Ewing's students today.

Before consolidation, Ewing High School built a local reputation in athletics, winning several Nebraska state championships.
