Loretto is an unincorporated community and census-designated place in Boone County, Nebraska, United States. As of the 2010 census, the community had a population of 42. [4]
Loretto was originally called Loran, in honor of Loran Clark, a pioneer settler, but when it was discovered another town of that name already existed elsewhere in the state, it was renamed Loretto in order to avoid repetition. [5] The present name is after Loreto, in Italy. [6] A post office was established at Loretto in 1888, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1971. [7] [8] A state bank named Loretto State Bank was established in 1909. [9] At its peak in the 1920s Loretto was also home to a cheese factory, several general stores, a butcher shop, and hotel. [10]
Loretto is located in north-central Boone County along Beaver Creek, a tributary of the Loup River. Nebraska Highway 14 passes through the CDP, leading southeast 7 miles (11 km) to Albion, the county seat, and north 6 miles (10 km) to Petersburg.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the Loretto CDP has a total area of 0.27 square miles (0.7 km2), all land.
