About Gering, NE

Gering was founded in 1887 at the base of the bluff that is now the center of Scotts Bluff National Monument. It was founded by a corporation headed by Oscar Gardner of Broken Bow, Nebraska and named for Martin Gering, a pioneer merchant with whom Gardner started the first dry goods store. Gardner was also a lawyer and started the post office. The city of Scottsbluff was founded across the North Platte River from the bluff in 1900. Separated only by the river, the two cities have since grown together and now form the 7th largest urban area in Nebraska.
