It is Unique

It is one of a kind. No other community in the United States is known by the name "ALVO". Early settlers had come to this area as early as 1869, they had established post-offices, school district and towns. The railroad was the main means of transportation , so towns were established along it's lines.

Alvo reportedly received its name from the first child born after the community began to form around the depot. Her name was Alvo and she was the daughter of the railroad's master.

Hello neighbors! 

The Alvo Community Improvement Association's Farewell to Summer Block Party was a success! The kids had a blast and provided our community with some fantastic artwork to brighten up our days, everyone had plenty of cold watermelon and lemonaide to cool off with, the kids all got a lesson in how to Stop, Drop, and Roll from Eagle Alvo Fire and Rescue, and we were even visited by deputies from the Cass County Sheriff's office. Thank you to our community members who came and shared smiles, the volunteers who made it possible, and everyone for coming to such a welcoming first time event!

The Alvo Community Improvement Association was created to not only host events in our Village like this, but also to build relationships that rural Nebraskans pride themselves on. Our mission is to improve community sustainablility and engagement through better safety, education, and entertainment. If you would like to get involved, everyone is welcome and you can contact members through Facebook here.

The Planning and Zoning Commitee had their quarterly meeting last week, and that video is available by clicking here.

As of this date, there has not been an appointment for the open position within the Village Board of Trustees. Some neighbors have reported that they were required to submit a letter of consideration which includes their qualifications, however, Village ordinance states ยง1-178 ELECTIONS; CANDIDATE QUALIFICATIONS. Any person seeking elected office in the Municipality shall be a registered voter prior to holding such office and in addition shall have reached the age of majority. (Ref. 32-4, 157 RS Neb.)

There is also currently two open seats available for the Planning and Zoning Committee. If you would like to be considered, please contact the Village clerk, Raider Rhotenacher, at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . 

That's about it for now. Please watch your speed, stay safe, and meet your neighbors.
