Haigler Firsts

Thought this little tid-bit of information would jog a memory or two:

Haigler, Nebr., is home to the first female postmaster in the United States--Mrs. Arabelle Porter. Mrs. Porter was appointed postmaster in 1882.

Haigler is also home to the James R. Porter family who developed and financed the Pioneer Irrigation Canal, one of the first irrigation systems completed in Nebraska.
