Nevada “is pleasantly located on the Chicago Northwest Railway, 318 miles from Chicago. It is surrounded by a rich, gentle prairie, near the head of a grove which borders West Indian Creek,” noted Andreas in 1875. 43The site had been selected by the county commissioners as a central location for the county courthouse.
