Hickman's Growth

Hickman's Growth

If all five annexations are approved, Hickman will have grown by about 200 acres since 2000, Mayor Jim Hrouda said.
For years, Hickman was a town of about 800 people, he said, but water use indicates it now has about 1,650 people.

The growth on Lincoln's south side continues to stay high. It would be nice if some of the growth on the north and east of Lincoln could be this strong.

Agreed, Lincoln needs to start growing this direction more. The proposed east bypass should help things out with that I'd assume.

When I lived in Lincoln, a gal I worked with lived in Hickman.  I always thought Hickman was an ironic name to pick for a small town.  Nice place though.

^Well, at least it wasn't named Hickville. That would have been a tragedy. Surely there must be a Mr. Hickman in the town's proud past.
My son got a 27 on his ACT. No this score is not as high as what Jeff's son achieved. But one has to remember the paternal gene-pool my son has to overcome. On a PGPAB [Paternal Gene-Pool Adjusted Basis], my son's score is a 37 and Jeff's son's PGPAB ACT score is 19.

Yes - it was named after C. H. Hickman in 1872 when he platted the town.

How's Waverly's growth these days?  They appear to be landing some big warehouse/industrial 'tenants'.
