| | CASDE | Brady -- Lincoln County |
 | | Brady, a town of 375 once called Brady Island, was given its name by John Fremont. |
 | | The town incorporated in 1907, at which time it officially changed its name from Brady Island to "Brady." (It took the railroad until 1955 to paint the "Island" off their depot.) From 1910 on, the town's physical structure took form. |
 | | There was a weekly paper (in 1880, "The Brady Blade" and in 1908, "Brady Vindicator"), a bank, several grain elevators, the usual assortment of shops, a cream station, a pole and neckyoke factory. |
