Friend is a city in Saline County, Nebraska, United States. As of the 2010 census, the city population was 1,027. ==History== The city is named for Charles E. Friend who homesteaded the land and initially named the community Friendville. He operated a dry goods store and post office. In 1873 the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad named its new train station there "Friend."〔(Friend, Nebraska -ci.friend.ne.us )〕 The National Greyhound Association was founded in the community in 1906 (called at the time National Coursing Association).〔(History of the Greyhound and Greyhound Racing - The Greyhound Review, February 2006 )〕 The Friend Police Department, which was initially housed in a tool shed during construction of U.S. Route 6 was reported to be the smallest police station in the world according to Ripley's Believe It or Not. In the 1960s the shed doubled in size so the Nebraska State Patrol could also be stationed there. Friend still claims it has the smallest combined police station.〔(Friend, Nebraska -ci.friend.ne.us )〕
