The [[Central Interstate Low Level Radioactive Waste Compact]] and US Ecology purchased land 2 miles west of Butte in the early 1990s. The land was to become the site of the compact's dump; however following extensive controversy, the dump was eventually removed from consideration. Nebraska was officially removed from the compact after a series of long court battles that ended in 2004. The state of Nebraska had to pay a settlement and there have been attempts made to sell the compact's land just outside Butte.<ref>http://www.cillrwcc.com{{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>

Butte is a village in, and the county seat of, Boyd County, Nebraska, United States.[3] Its population was 286 according to the 2020 census, down from 326 in 2010.

History

[edit]

Butte was named from the small hills, or buttes, near the town site.[4]

The Central Interstate Low Level Radioactive Waste Compact and US Ecology purchased land two miles west of Butte in the early 1990s. The land was to become the site of the compact's dump; however, following extensive controversy, the dump was eventually removed from consideration. Nebraska was officially removed from the compact after a series of long court battles that ended in 2004. The state of Nebraska had to pay a settlement and there have been attempts made to sell the compact's land just outside Butte.[5]

Geography

[edit]

According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.42 square miles (1.09 km2), all land.[6]

Climate

[edit]

This climatic region is typified by large seasonal temperature differences, with warm to hot (and often humid) summers and cold (sometimes severely cold) winters. According to the Köppen Climate Classification system, Butte has a humid continental climate, abbreviated "Dfa" on climate maps.[7]
