Hyannis Nebraska 69350

Hyannis, the seat of Grant County, was platted in 1888 when the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad reached the site, taking its name from Hyannis, Massachusetts. It won the county seat from the original seat, Whitman, in a relocation election shortly after its founding. Hyannis sits at the junction of Nebraska Highways 2 and 61 in the heart of the Sandhills, and is home to the National Register-listed 1898 Hotel DeFair, still operating today as the Hyannis Hotel.
