Berea is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Box Butte County, in the northwestern part of the state of Nebraska in the Midwestern United States. It had a population of 41 at the 2010 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): Berea CDP, Nebraska )〕 ==History== The Burlington Railroad reached the area of Berea in 1889, and railroad support facilities, including a water tower and section house, were built on the site. The town was founded by a group of settlers, originally from Ohio,〔("Nebraska Historic Buildings Survey: Reconnaissance Survey Final Report of Box Butte County". ) (Nebraska State Historical Society. ) Retrieved 2010-09-02.〕 who named their new home after Berea, Ohio.〔Fitzpatrick, Lilian Linder (1925). ("Nebraska Place-Names". ) University of Nebraska Department of English. Retrieved 2010-09-02.〕 In 1890-91, the town had a population of 50, and a general store, newspaper, and post office; five years later, a school and community hall had been added.〔 The population of Berea fluctuated over the next century. The town was of some local importance as a shipping stop along the railroad, although it never developed many commercial enterprises. A garage opened in 1921, repairing both automobiles and farm machinery. In 1925, when the population was estimated at 35, the post office was re-opened; it closed again a year later. A refinery was operated in the town in 1935 by the Utility Petroleum Company of Chadron.〔 In 1960, a population of 75 was reported for Berea.〔 The District 39 school was closed in 2007, at which time it had nine students enrolled.〔("Berea School Will Not Operate in 2007-2008". ) (KQSK-KAAQ Radio. ) Retrieved 2010-09-02.〕 In 2009, the town's population was estimated to be 50.〔("Box Butte County". ) (''Scottsbluff Star-Herald''. ) 2009-11-18.
