**Angus** is an [unincorporated community](/source/Unincorporated_area) in [Nuckolls County](/source/Nuckolls_County,_Nebraska), [Nebraska](/source/Nebraska), United States, located approximately seven miles south of [Edgar](/source/Edgar,_Nebraska). A [sod house](/source/Sod_house) was built there in 1967 to celebrate the town's centennial.

The community was named after J. B. Angus, a railroad man.[1]

## History

The area in the early 1900s was known for the local car company by [Charles Marion Fuller](/source/Charles_Marion_Fuller), known as "**Angus Automobile Company**".[2][3] Over 600 cars were produced between the fall of 1907 and the Spring of 1909, with dealerships reaching as far as the city of [Denver](/source/Denver).[3]

Angus, from the early 1920's to the later 1940's, had the first cement swimming pool in Nuckrolls County, and was a town with a significant local economy.

In 1970, all eligible voters decided to unanimously vote to disincorporate. The post office closed on July 18, 1975.[3]
