Hoskins is a village in Wayne County, Nebraska, United States, in the northeastern region of the state. With a population of about 300 according to the 2020 U.S. Census, Hoskins is a small farming community typical of the Midwest.
Hoskins is located in the Elkhorn River basin, a tributary of the Missouri River, about 180 kilometers from the state capital, Lincoln, and about 30 kilometers from the nearest city, Norfolk. The region has a humid continental climate with four distinct seasons, with warm, humid summers and cold, snowy winters, making it suitable for crops such as corn and soybeans.
Hoskins was established in 1887 with the extension of the Burlington Railroad, and the place name is derived from the surnames of early railroad officials. The economy is dominated by agriculture, with family farms dotted around the area, primarily growing corn and soybeans and raising beef cattle. In recent years, the wind energy industry has evolved and several wind turbines are visible in the neighborhood.
The village has a post office, community center and volunteer fire department. The education system is part of the Wayne Community School District, and school-age children usually travel to the neighboring town of Wayne. The community fair held each summer is an important local social event.
