Summary
Constructed in 1907 in Scottsbluff, the Tri-State Land Company Headquarters Building is the best remaining corporate building associated with the Tri-State Land Company. While irrigation was still in its infancy in western Nebraska, the Tri-State Land Company purchased an abandoned canal, put it back into use, and extended its length allowing for increased agricultural production in the area. Additionally, Tri-State introduced the sugar beet on a large scale to the region. Tri-State encouraged sugar beet production by growing the crop on company-owned land. Finally, Tri-State also sold large tracts of land to speculative investors.
