ANSWERS: 1

According to the 1939 Federal Writerâ€™s Project Guide for Nebraska: â€œBroken Bow (alt. 2480, pop. 2715), platted in 1882, is a shipping center for livestock, hay, and grain. It has factories making cigars and brooms, two hotels, and an airport. After the Post Office Department had rejected several proposed names, Wilson Hewitt, a homesteader, suggested its present name on finding a broken bow on an old Indian burial ground.â€ Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Broken_Bow%2C_Nebraska
