History
Some people hold Berks was the name of an early settler, while others believe the community was named after Berks County, Pennsylvania.[3] The name was also probably chosen to conform with the alphabetical stops on the new Burlington & Quincy Railroad line traveling westward from Lincoln: Berks, Crete, Dorchester, Exeter, Fairmont, Grafton, Huxley, etc.[4] The Berks post office was discontinued in 1912.[5]
