Vesper, a little town in Lincoln county, is located on the Union Pacific R. R., 6 miles west of Lincoln, the county seat. It has a bank, 2 grain elevators, several stores, telegraph and express offices, and a money order postoffice with two rural routes. The population in 1910 was 100. Vesper postoffice was established in 1873 and for several years was moved around the neighborhood from house to house. When the railroad was built, in 1886, it was moved to the station and a town grew up around it.
