The paper was founded in 1888, and was first published on October 22, 1888. Its founders included Mentor A. Brown (1853-1932), formerly of the Beatrice Press, and R.H. Eaton, who together organized the Hub Printing Company to publish the paper and to take over the Central Nebraska Press which dated from 1873. The name "Hub" was chosen because the town was considered the "hub" of the continent, located 1733 miles from both Boston and San Francisco.
Mentor's son Hugh Brown took over the paper after his death in 1932. The subsequent leaders of the paper have been Ormond Hill, Robert S. Ayres, Daryl Hall, Steve Chatelain, and Julie Speirs. Speirs was named publisher and president in 2012, having previously served as vice president and general manager.

Watch Now: The Buckle in Kearney relocating to a new slot at Hilltop Mall
The Buckle is relocating to a new slot at Hilltop Mall.
The Buckles move from the east side of the mall to the west side follows a trend among mall retailers to carve smaller business spaces into big boxes. The new look focuses attention on the main entrance and increases visibility and brand awareness. In the case of The Buckle, the move also will place the denim destination and specialty retailer much closer to parking at Hilltop.

(Carly Simon) I stood in the doorway in my white nightgown Red roses on cotton, I stood three feet from the ground the grownups inside used words I didn't know But still I enjoyed the show They looked so lovely, they looked so self-assured And I just like them would know it all when I matured And I wouldn't be afraid of the darkness or the bears Or the cracks in the ceiling upstairs Now I've just gotten older, I've just gotten taller And the little ones, they call me a grownup Lat night at a friend's house a little girl was there She stood in the doorway playing with her hair She looked up to me as if I could do no wrong As I got up to sing my song I sang it with a shiver in my throat and in my knees Feeling just as small as a thistle in a breeze But the child's imagination carried me along And saw me through my song Now I've just gotten older, I've just gotten taller
