Enders was established on the present site in 1890. The original location of Enders was 2 miles (3 km) to the east-southeast of the present site. The village was relocated to the railroad line which was to be built to Imperial. Enders Post Office was established Aug. 26, 1890, with William A. Reid as postmaster. After being closed in 1893, the post office was reestablished in 1907 with George W. Brown as postmaster. The village was named for Peter Enders, a local pioneer rancher.[5]
Enders was one of the first communities in western Nebraska to be served with electrical power. An irrigation and power dam was located south of the village on Frenchman Creek.[6] The dam and generator were operated by Ralph Grosbach. The location of the power dam was flooded when Enders Dam was finished in 1951.[citation needed]
