About Weeping Water, Nebraska
Weeping Water is a city of 1,029 people in Cass County. Its name grew out of a mistake. The Oto and Omaha called the stream here Nigahoe, or "rustling water," for the sound it made running over its low falls, but French travelers heard Nihoage, "water weeping," and wrote it down as L'Eau qui Pleure. English speakers later translated that French name, and Weeping Water stuck.
Settlers organized the First Congregational Church on November 18, 1860, with seven members led by their minister, William Catlin, and four of them had come from Methodist or Disciples' congregations. The town was platted in 1867. It became a village in 1870 and a city in 1888.
“A fierce battle ensued, in which all the male warriors of both tribes being slain, the women and children came upon the battle-field and sat down and wept.”
- An academy founded in 1885The founders of Weeping Water Academy opened it in 1885 because they believed the public schools of that time could not train their children well enough. An old church building gave the new school room for its chapel, its classrooms and its library.
- A legend in verse, 1871The folklorist Louise Pound traced the first written telling of the town's legend to Orsamus Charles Dake, an English professor. His poem "The Weeping Water" runs 800 lines and appeared in Nebraska Legends and Other Poems in 1871. Dake centered it on an Otoe man who loved the Omaha chief's daughter against the wishes of their people, and he admitted he had developed the tale. Whether its roots are truly Native American has never been settled.
- Nehawka shares the old nameThe village of Nehawka, also in Cass County, carries the stream's original name. Nehawka is an English spelling of Nigahoe, the Oto and Omaha word for the rustling water.
- Limestone Day every JuneThe town's limestone quarry is what it's most famous for. Each year, late in June, Weeping Water marks Limestone Day with a parade, fireworks and games.
