Unincorporated community in Lancaster and Saline counties in Nebraska, United States From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Berks is an unincorporated community in Lancaster and Saline counties in Nebraska, United States.[1] The community is located approximately three miles (4.8 km) northeast of Crete on the BNSF Railroad Line and north of Nebraska Highway 33.[2]
Some people hold Berks was the name of an early settler, while others believe the community was named after Berks County, Pennsylvania.[3] The name was also probably chosen to conform with the alphabetical stops on the new Burlington & Quincy Railroad line traveling westward from Lincoln: Berks, Crete, Dorchester, Exeter, Fairmont, Grafton, Huxley, etc.[4] The Berks post office was discontinued in 1912.[5]
