Scribner is a city in Dodge County, Nebraska, United States.

Scribner was platted in 1870 by Lucius D. Richards when the railroad was extended to that point.

The Chicago & North Western tracks had been experiencing mildly declining freight traffic volumes.

Revenue railroad service ultimately ended in spring of 1982, when flooding from the Elkhorn River & nearby Pebble Creek damaged sections of the track.

With freight traffic mildly declining & flooding damage, the C&NW promptly filed a request with the Interstate Commerce Commission to abandon the line.

Permission was granted a short time later, leaving the tracks with a dismal future.

However, the costs were too high to revive railroad service, and the tracks were removed in 1988.

39.5% of all households were made up of individuals, and 25.2% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
