Angora Nebraska 69331

Angora was established in 1900 by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad as a rail siding town in northern Morrill County, with a post office established in 1901. It was also historically known by the alternate name "Antelope Hill." Its name is thought to follow the era's common practice of naming small depot towns after distant, exotic-sounding places, in this case Angora (Ankara), Turkey.

Angora is an unincorporated ghost town, appearing on Wikipedia's list of ghost towns in Nebraska, with no tracked current population. Its ZIP code, 69331, remains nominally associated with the site, which sits along present-day U.S. Route 385 north of Bridgeport. It existed to serve the railroad and surrounding ranching and farming operations, but has no active commercial activity today.
