Searching for hotels in Sidney (Nebraska) (United States) or Sidney (Nebraska) accommodation?  The county seat of Cheyenne County, Nebraska, Sidney was originally called Fort Sidney, named after Sidney Dillon, a one-time president of the Union Pacific. The city was incorporated into a municipality in 1884. Sidney served as a key freighting point during its early years but economic growth only started to pick up with the discovery of gold in the Black Hills in 1874.

Cabela is a marketer and retailer of hunting and camping gear, as well as other kinds of merchandize for outdoor recreation. Their corporate headquarters and store is located on the southern edge of the city and is known for their displays of life-size grisly bears, trophy elks, taxidermic Canada geese and an 8 meter replica mountain.

Sidney also plays as historic role as the site of the world’s first all Night Theater. In the past, the city center was lined by saloons, gaming halls, men’s clubs and boarding houses which led to the monicker ‘Sinful Sidney.’
