Ansley Village, is located in Custer County, Nebraska at the junction of Sandhills Highways 2, 92, and the north-south highway 183.  Following the 1857 treaty with the Pawnee Indians, the railroads extended their lines westward.  Ansley, one of  towns platted by The Lincoln Land Company along the Burlington Railroad, was established and surveyed in 1886.  The town was named for Eliza Ainsley a second cousin of General George A. Custer for whom the county was named.  She was visiting Col. Phillips, the president of the land company.    Her enthusiasm for the prairies and the pure air made her a super booster for her namesake and she owned property and lived in the community for many years.  She pronounced her name "Ansley" and the draughtsman who drew the plat of the town, spelled it the way it was pronounced.  The spelling was never corrected.  Source: http://www.casde.unl.edu/history/counties/custer/ansley/
