  CASDE | Blue Springs -- Gage County
Because Blue Springs was located just north of the Otoe and Missouri Indian reservation, settlers often "ran for their lives to Fort Anthony," (a kind of stockade built on the Davis place).
The settlers at Blue Springs "challenged the right of people of Beatrice to organize a county government," and despite the fact that they were nearer the center of what was then a 24-square-mile Gage County, they lost in their efforts to the "stronger politicians" in that city.
By 1890 Blue Springs recorded a population of 963, and by 1894, it was said to have been over 1,000.
