Crete is a city in and the most populous municipality of Saline County, Nebraska, United States. The population was 7,099 at the 2020 census. The city is home to Doane University.

History

The railroad was extended to the area in 1870, bringing settlers. In 1871, two rival towns merged to form a new town, which was named after Crete, Illinois, the former hometown of an early settler.[3] The name was also chosen to conform with the alphabetical stops on the new Burlington & Quincy Railroad line traveling westward from Lincoln: Berks, Crete, Dorchester, Exeter, Fairmont, Grafton, Harvard, Inland, Junianta, Kenesaw, Lowell, Minden etc. Some towns were already in existence, with Friend and Sutton inserted into the alphabetical town names. It was planned to have a town every 9 miles on the railroad, as a steam engine needed to fill up with water periodically.[4] Crete was once a contender for county seat.[5]

On February 18, 1969, Crete was the site of a railroad accident that released a fog of anhydrous ammonia fumes from a ruptured railroad tank car, killing five residents and seriously injuring 11 others in their homes.[6] Another three people, hoboes who had been riding on the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad freight train as it traveled from Denver to Chicago, died of injuries received in the train derailment.

Geography

According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 2.97 square miles (7.69 km2), of which 2.92 square miles (7.56 km2) is land and 0.05 square miles (0.13 km2) is water.[7]

Loop knitting

It has been suggested that this article be merged into Knitting. (Discuss) Proposed since August 2024. In loop knitting, long, dangling loops are introduced into the middle of a knitted fabric or along an edge (fringe border). The loops may appear singly or in large clusters. An overall array of such loops may be used to give a shaggy look to the fabric and/or make it warmer, e.g., tufting the inside of mittens. After they're made, the loops may be cut or left intact; two adjacent loops tied ...
