Ericson is a village in Wheeler County, Nebraska, United States. The population was 92 at the 2010 census. Ericson was platted in 1886 by the C. B. & Q. railroad when the railroad's line to Greeley was extended to that location. It was named for Christensen Erickson, the original owner of the town site. The town grew slowly, and the first depot agent, named Dahl, also bought grain, sold coal, and took over the store being run by Peter Erickson, to keep the town viable.
