History
The early years
Bankruptcy
The Ralston of today is on land that once was owned by Omaha’s first doctor, Dr. George Miller. According to Alice Shooter’s “Early History of Ralston, Nebraska, 1865-1950,” in May 1907 Dr. Miller sold 282.35 acres to investors, who in turn sold the land to the Ralston Investment Co. (of which the investors were officers). The sale needed to be corrected after it was discovered that it contained land leased for the icehouse on Seymore Lake and a strip of land that served as an approach to the lake. The corrected deed was for 272.13 acres. May 1908 brought the incorporation of the Ralston Investment Company Eventually the name was changed to Ralston Townsite Company, which began selling city lots in 1908. Twenty new homes were built that year. Ralston became incorporated in 1912.
Ralston holds a unique place in history. It is the first city in the United States to have declared bankruptcy. On Dec. 7, 1934, papers were signed by the mayor and city board members declaring the city was insolvent. On Nov. 5, 1935, a celebration of sorts took place. The mayor and other city leaders publicly burned bonds worth $240,000. The city was free of debt and able to move forward. The bankruptcy earned the city a spot in “Ripley’s Believe it or Not.”
Seymour Lake According to Alice Shooter’s “Early History of Ralston, Nebraska, 1865-1950,” Seymour Lake was formed in 1892. A group of businessmen, drilling for oil or water, struck an artesian well. At the height of its popularity as a destination, the grounds at the lake included a clubhouse, bath house, water slides and amusement park.
Passenger street cars In 1908, a franchise was granted to investors for creation of a railcar line from Ralston to Omaha. The General Construction Company was given four acres of land near Seymour Lake to erect an electric light and powerhouse. The following year, General Construction Company assigned a contract to the Nebraska TracSuburban Newspapers Inc.
tion & Power Company for construction of a street railway system in Ralston. Nebraska Traction & Power Company sought to construct an interurban railway from Seymore Park to Omaha. Construction began by August 1909 and was complete about a year later. Another line, which ran from www.RalstonAreaChamber.org
Omaha to Papillion and passed through Ralston, was completed in 1912. Eventually, popularity of the street railway system waned as cars became more popular. In 1926, the streetcar operator switched to operating buses. The rail lines were eventually abandoned.

History
1913 Tornado
What’s in a name
On March 23, 1913, a tornado tore through the prospering town, hitting downtown hard, destroying several buildings and taking seven lives, according to Shooter’s book. The icehouse at Seymour Lake was damaged, but much of the ice remained intact. Factories, stores, lumberyards and the post office were all affected, many destroyed. The same tornado later hit Omaha, killing more than 100 and destroying many buildings.
Deerfield was the original name of the village that later officially became known as Ralston. The Ralston Townsite Company loaned money to Charles A. Ralston & LeBaron of Chicago, according to Alice Shooter’s book, for the construction of Ralston Car Works. Sitting on 35 acres, the firm known as Locomotive Cars & Contractors was to employ 400 people in locomotive construction and a railway repair shop. But the four buildings that were to make up the car works were never constructed for lack of capital, according to Shooter’s book. Yet investors involved with creating the town were so impressed with C.A. Ralston that the townsite company was named in his honor. Thus, the village of Deerfield became known as Ralston.
