Discreet 24/7 Biohazard Remediation in Giltner, NE

Giltner is an incorporated village in Hamilton County, Nebraska, covering just 0.39 square miles of land.

The 2020 census counted 406 people in Giltner, a 15.3% increase from the 352 residents recorded in 2010.

The village was platted in May 1886 by the Lincoln Land Company, which developed towns along the railroad, and was first named Huntington after a railroad employee's hometown in Pennsylvania.

In February 1887 the post office asked for a new name because Huntington was too easily confused with Hartington, Nebraska, so the town became Bromfield.

The town was renamed a second time in 1895, again at the post office's request because Bromfield resembled Bloomfield, Nebraska; the new name Giltner honored H. M. Giltner, the minister who had founded the town's Presbyterian church.

By 1890 the young town supported a newspaper called the Bromfield Bulletin, two grain elevators, a lumberyard, a school, a saloon, and a church, with a population of just under 200.

Giltner's population peaked at 410 in the 1910 census before settling into the 300–400 range for most of the twentieth century.

In 1903 Giltner fielded a minor league baseball team as a charter member of the short-lived Central Nebraska League, which folded after a single season.

The 2010 census counted 352 people in 134 households in the village, with an average household size of 2.63.

Local children attend Giltner Public School; the community's public school dates to 1885, and its largest graduating class ever was 34 students in 1941.
