Established in the fall of 1883 during construction of the Omaha & Republican Valley Railroad, Cortland was formally platted in 1884 when the railroad extension reached this location. An early variant name was "Galesburg," but the current name was transferred from Cortland, New York. With the completion of the railroad line from Lincoln to Beatrice, Cortland experienced rapid population growth, reaching a peak of 600 residents in just one season--extraordinary growth reflecting the economic impact of rail connectivity on Nebraska's rural communities.
Cortland's modern identity includes a fascinating Cold War era chapter. During the "cold war," Cortland's population doubled as the IBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile) site was constructed east of town, bringing federal employment and investment to this small Gage County village. This military presence brought infrastructure investment and contributed to community development. Today, Cortland maintains its character as a small agricultural community located conveniently between Lincoln and Beatrice on Highway 77, offering residents rural lifestyle with reasonable proximity to larger cities. The village exemplifies how national defense priorities and railroad expansion both shaped rural Nebraska's development and population patterns.
