History
Hebron was founded about 1869 by a colony of Disciples of Christ. It was named after the ancient city of Hebron.
The historic Hebron United States Post Office, now on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, was built in the town in 1937 by architect Louis A. Simon.
In 2021, the United States Department of Agriculture announced that a large well site would be constructed in a field near Hebron, a major part of a larger bid to improve water infrastructure for farmers across the state of Nebraska and neighboring Kansas.
