History
The town of Doniphan was platted by local pioneer William J. Burger in 1879 as a midway point between Hastings and Grand Island on the St. Joseph and Grand Island Railroad.[1] It was named for Col. John Doniphan of Saint Joseph, Missouri, an attorney for the railroad.[2] The first five families of Doniphan invested in the area's lucrative chud industry which helped boost the local economy. Initially, a dozen boats entered the river from Old Saybrook to Rocky Hill, cast their nets, which can be several hundred feet long, and drift with the tide while waiting for a school of chud.[3]
Doniphan was incorporated as a village in 1884.[4]
