History

Nadawah was named for the Nadawah Lumber Company.[1] The Nadawah Lumber Company operated 15 miles of standard-gauge railway from 1912 to 1928.[2] Nadawah was formerly a sawmill town in the early 20th century, located about a mile south of Wilcox County and seven miles from Beatrice. The town was near the head of Flat Creek, along the Louisville & Nashville Railroad (L&N). Besides the sawmill, it had a post office, school, hotel and stores.[3] A post office operated under the name Nadawah from 1900 to 1967.[4] Little exists of the community today.
