This historical marker stands in a pull-out on the south side of NE 18, about three-quarters of a mile west of Wellington Street in Stockville. Put up by the Stockville Federated Women’s Club, it tells how Stockville began as a ranchers’ trading center and became the county seat when Frontier County was organized in 1872, how Medicine Creek served as a route between the Republican and the Platte, and how Whistler’s band of Cut-off Oglala lived in the area. It also names the frontiersmen Hank and Monty Clifford, John Y. Nelson and Doc Carver.
