Monowi (/ˈmɒnɵwaɪ/ mon-o-wy) is an incorporated village in Boyd County, Nebraska, United States. According to the 2010 census, it has a population of just 1 person,the only incorporated municipality in the United States with such a population. The name Monowi is said to mean "flower" in a Native American language, but the language has not been identified. The town was named on account of many wildflowers growing at the site. Monowi was platted in 1902 when the Fremont, Elkhorn and Missouri Valley Railroad was extended to that point.[11] Monowi's peak years were in the 1930s, when it had a population of 150.[12] Like many other small communities in the Great Plains, it lost its younger residents to cities that were experiencing growth and offering better jobs. During the 2000 census, the village had a total population of 2; only one married couple, Rudy and Elsie Eiler, lived there. Mr. Eiler died in 2004, leaving his wife as the only remaining resident. In this capacity, she acts as Mayor, granting herself a liquor license and paying taxes to herself. She is required to produce a municipal road plan every year in order to secure state funding for the village's four street lights. |
