Valentine, Nebraska
Valentine is a city in and the county seat of Cherry County, Nebraska, United States. The population was 2,633 at the 2020 census. It is the hometown of former vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz.
Valentine was founded in 1882. The Valentine post office was established on December 4, 1882. The Sioux City and Pacific Railroad was extended to that point and train service began on April 1, 1883. It was named for Edward K. Valentine, a Nebraska representative.
As late as 1967, Valentine was split between two time zones. According to a news report, "The mountain and central time zones meet at the center of Main Street, so an hour separates the two curb lines." According to the report, when clocks were required to be set back one hour for daylight saving time, Valentine's post office (which was in the central zone) split the difference and turned back its clock by half an hour.
Valentine participates in an annual re-mailing program where thousands of pieces of mail flow into the local United States Post Office so that they can be re-mailed with a special Valentine's Day postmark and verse.
In 2007, National Geographic Adventure magazine included Valentine in its list of the best 100 adventure towns and cities.
In the Lakota language, Valentine is known as Oínažiŋ or Mnináȟaȟa Otȟúŋwahe, meaning "station stopping place" or "water and waterfall city".
According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has an area of 2.25 square miles (5.83 km2), of which 2.22 square miles (5.75 km2) is land and 0.03 square miles (0.08 km2) is water.
Valentine is immediately north of the Niobrara River, on the northern edge of the Sandhills physiographic region. Merritt Reservoir, created by a dam on the Snake River, is approximately 30 miles (48 km) southwest of Valentine. Snake River Falls is on the Snake River between the reservoir (a few miles downstream) and Valentine. Smith Falls, Nebraska's tallest waterfall, is on a small stream tributary to the Niobrara River about 15 miles (24 km) east of Valentine in Smith Falls State Park.
