SCOTIA (town)

SCOTIA is in the southwestern part of Greeley county, on the North Loup branch of the U.P. Ry., 4 miles northeast of Grand Island and 298 miles from Omaha. It is the county seat and has a population of 500. The village is beautifully situated in the North Loup valley. A brickyard is in operation and soft stone which hardens with exposure to the atmosphere is quarried here and used for building purposes. There are two flour mills, making a good grade of flour and doing a good business. Two banks, the Greeley County Bank, capital, $100,000, and the Peoples Bank. Water works are to be constructed in the near future. The churches are: Methodist, German Methodist and Catholic.
