About Peru, NE

The first attempt to settle the community occurred in 1853 by some residents of Peru, Illinois. However troops from Fort Kearney forced them to leave because Nebraska Territory belonged to the Otoe tribe. They then temporarily settled across the Missouri River at Sonora (now Watson, Missouri). In 1857 a community formed around a trading post called Mount Vernon on the bluffs above the river on the Nebraska side. In 1857 settlers founded Peru down the hill from Mount Vernon directly on the Missouri River.
