150th birthday. One hundred fifty years ago in August 1873, Battle 
Creek was founded. Sitting along the Elkorn River Valley in Madison 
County, Battle Creek has grown through the years, welcoming new 
families, businesses, and visitors.
  With a population of a few more than 1,000 people, they exhibit the 
best of what small town Nebraska has to offer: A great quality of life, 
family-owned businesses, and great recreation. They're one of the first

members--both new and old. One outstanding example is Rose O'Neill, the 
cartoonist who imagined the Kewpie Doll, which has gained fame around 
the world. As Battle Creek reaches this sesquicentennial birthday, 
there is much to celebrate.
