Bennet is a village in Lancaster County, Nebraska, United States. It is part of the Lincoln, Nebraska Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 1,082 at the 2020 census.[4]

History

Bennet was founded on July 29, 1871 when the railroad was extended to that point.[7] The village was founded on land previously owned by William Roggenkamp as a station for a rail line being laid by the Midland Pacific Railway which ran from Lincoln to Nebraska City.[8] It was originally named Bennett's Station for John Bennett, officer of the Midland Pacific Railway.[9] The town was incorporated on October 1, 1881.[8]

By the early 1900s, the village had become a prosperous commercial and social center for the area.[8] At this time, the nearby town of Lincoln was still relatively small and remote.[8] Beginning with the Great Depression, Bennet's population declined, local businesses closed, and many moved to cities for work.[8]

Today, Bennet has a similar status as many former business centers in Lancaster County as Lincoln has become the political, financial, commercial, and cultural center of the county.[8] However, Bennet has experienced a recent population growth as more and more people have begun living in Bennet despite working in Lincoln.[8] According to a community-wide survey conducted in 1992, 76% of Bennet's residents commute to work in Lincoln.[8] A recent survey indicated that 44% of people who moved to Bennet did so because of the small town atmosphere, citing a lower cost of living, cleaner air, and a good school system.[8]

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.518 square miles (1.34 km2), all land.[2]
