Why this spot
1901-1941 railroad siding village
Shea grew from a grain siding on the Burlington's St. Louis to Denver route in 1901 into a four-block village platted in 1907, with a store, barber, grocery, post office, blacksmith, stockyards and depot in the 1910s and 1920s. It probably never passed 50 residents and by 1941 had shrunk to an elevator and a house or two.View source →
