| A post office was established at Ames in 1885, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1985. The community was likely named for Oakes Ames, a Union Pacific Railroad official. Ames was a station and shipping point on the Union Pacific Railroad. References: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ames,_Nebraska Submitted by: Sam Glover |
