The Sidney Sun-Telegraph - Serving proudly since 1873 as the beautiful Nebraska Panhandle's first newspaper

For the first time in more than 150 years, "American" is no longer part of the name of one of Sidney's oldest businesses. Last Friday, sign workers removed the last American Bank sign from the corner of 10th and Illinois, replacing it with signage of Platte Valley Bank, which acquired the local bank last fall. The bank is the longest running Sidney business in one location, having opened in 1889.
