5 June 2017 Kimball Nebraska



 * Kimball is a very small town in Kimball County, which is in the Nebraska Panhandle. As of the 2010 U.S. census, they had 2,569 people living in 2.71 mi 2 of space.


 * ==Understand==

As with many tiny places hidden in the United States, Kimball is proud of their town, and wouldn't let anything get in the way of the pride.
 * ===History===

Throughout the past, Kimball took on two different names. During the establishment in 1870, the plot of land was referred to as "Antelopeville" due to the large quantity of Antelope in the area.


 * In recongnison, "Antelopeville" became Kimball in 1885 for Thomas Kimball, a Union Pacific worker.


 * Kimball than went through times of growth, and hit over four thousand people in 1950, before there was a decline. To this day, it is still disputable why there was a decline, nonetheless, there are some fair sounding reasons, like a business moving out, or a disaster, or just that people lost interest in their town.


 * ==Get in==
 * With Kimball being tiny, some would say getting in is a blast.




 * I-80, take exit 20 for downtown, and 22 for the Nebraska 71 bypass.


 * ==Get around==

28 September 2017 Orchard Valley
Orchard Valley, a pleasant town of 1800 people as of 2017, is located in the Cheyenne metro in Wyoming.

Understand
For the most drawn out of times, now decades, it's been a debate over Cheyenne's borders, drawing in the cartographers, geologists, and depending who you ask, you'll get completely different answers. Orchard Valley is affected by this. And, in a sense, it is young (Neighborhood Scout) and (Wyoming Archive Libraries), hot and cold, big (Google Maps) and small(Rand McNally), all at the same time. For the purposes of this guide, we will use the governmental borders, and the sign (in the page banner), and take the middle road for our info.

History
It's been confirmed that there's been houses here at least since 1970. However, further evidence entails that Cheyenne started working on this area as soon as 1950.

Cheyenne grew to the north and east, consistently filling up land, and needing to expand their contracts. Not to mention the terrain here was lower, and thus more pleasant to settelers!

Basic Settlements came into place. It wasn't until South Greeley came along though, that Orchard Valley boomed.

The fundamental conditions at the area sketched what today's town looks like, thus having Orchard Valley designed around the topography of the area.

In the 1970's were the biggest increase, with businesses moving in, newer tech making the area more habitable, and lots of mobile homes going up. It was in this time Orchard Valley was set in stone, and thus made it a good place to live that would commute to Cheyenne/South Greeley for work, but then went home to live, play, and even shop.

College Drive (WY 212) was constructed through here, and I-80 to the north of that, limiting the overall shape of Orchard Valley. But it proved very beneficial as the land had more value than the area where the highways were, which is why the town is so lopsided, which helps travel around the it easier.

The town, with good position, and good reason, slowly grew, but had terrible competition with South Greeley, which defined the borders.

In the 21st century, sloth-like growth had occurred, but didn't affect the town much at all. As for government, Orchard Valley was still considered part of Cheyenne by the majority. However, it is agreed upon that Orchard Valley, with the rest of the outer towns, like Ranchettes, South Greeley, Fox Farm, should be in a suburban belt, that's their nature.

Future
If you thought Orchard Valley want as interesting as your city, then be prepared, cause when your children are born, it will be very first-class. Currently, there is no known plans for Orchard Valley, however it is anticipated that Orchard Valley will continue to grow, likely to the south and west.

By 2020, Orchard Valley should have a park. Any name suggestions?

No one knows the exact date, but around 2000, Triumph High School was constructed, and in 2017, Rossman Elementary was formed. The enrollment rates has risen since then, and by 2030, the students to this area could skyrocket. But what could this do? Adding population could result in new businesses, and perhaps an attraction or two could make this place home.

Geography
As mentioned before, Orchard Valley is "off the mountain", so to speak, and thus has lower elevation, by about 300 ft. Still, if you come from the coast, you should still take PRECAUTIONS to avoid altitude sickness (see Cope ). Anyways, the flat topography makes for a more habitable area, and OH, you don't have to walk inclines, and it will be easier to pull/push stuff!

But where is Orchard Valley? That's South of WY 212 and West of US 85, but not bordering US 85. Officially, the east border starts at Walterscheid Blvd. The coordinates of the town is:41.101806 N, 104.813699 W.

Climate
A big part of geography is climate. On the Kompfh Scale, Orchard Valley is Semi-arid, similar to Cheyenne, just with a difference of a few degrees. You should always check the weather, as it can be unpredictable.
