    Sidney is a city and county seat of Cheyenne County, Nebraska, United States. The population was 6,757 at the 2010 census.

    History

    The city was named for Sidney Dillon, president of the Union Pacific Railroad. It was founded in 1867 by the Union Pacific and grew up around the military base of Fort Sidney (also known as Sidney Barracks), where soldiers were stationed to guard the transcontinental railroad from potential Indian attacks.

    The town became the southern terminus of the Sidney Black Hills Stage Road which used Clarke's Bridge (near Bridgeport, Nebraska) to allow military and civilian traffic to reach Fort Robinson, Red Cloud Agency, Spotted Tail Agency, Custer, South Dakota, and Deadwood, South Dakota in the late 1870s and 1880s.

    Sidney is home to one of the Old West's Boot Hill cemeteries; many of those interred there were soldiers from the fort.

    Geography

    According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 6.93 square miles (17.95 km2), all of it land.

    Sidney (novel)

    Sidney is a philosophical novel by the American writer Margaret Deland (1857–1945) set in the 19th century fictional locale of Mercer, an Ohio River community that represents Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

    The novel tells the story of Major Mortimer Lee and his daughter Sidney. The Major has turned a pessimist by the loss of his beloved wife, and he vows to protect his daughter from love and marriage and the notion of a beneficent God.

    It was first published in installments in Atlantic Monthly from January through October 1890.

    Sidney

    by: Palisades

    And it's been long enough
    and still I have to bite my tongue
    and the days and the weeks and the months pass by
    I can't get you off my mind
    I'll keep this inside
    but that's okay
    and I say
    I want you to be my girl
    want you to be my world
    even if it means that
    I can't have you by my side
    just want you in my life
    I've been waiting by the minute
    every precious little second
    try to wrap my head around that I'll never get it
    contemplating if it's the right time to let you know
    you're stuck in my thoughts so let's make a deal
    I'll keep my lips locked if you promise it's real
    and if he treats you right
    then I'm fine
    I'm waiting for you
    (speechless, I wanted to call out your name,
    I stopped in fear that things would change)
    I swear if you knew
    then I know it wouldn't be the same
    I'm waiting for you
    (speechless but I'm alright, alright)
    I swear if you knew
