Lemoyne
Lemoyne, a village of approximately 50 people, was named for Lemoyne Jacobs, a large landowner, who donated the land for the community and the railroad. Lemoyne is located on the north shore of Lake McConaughy on Highway 92.
Due to the construction of Kingsley Dam and Lake McConaughy, the original town of Lemoyne was moved out of the Platte River Valley to its present location today. During Lake McConaughy’s low-water seasons, the building foundations of the Harris Ranch and the cold cellar are still visible today.Today, Lemoyne is served by a post office, a church and a telephone company. The rural Keystone-Lemoyne Fire Department serves the Lemoyne area.
Because of its close proximity to Lake McConaughy, Lemoyne’s economy is based on tourism. The small rural community swells to nearly triple its size in the recreational summer months. Several businesses cater to the tourists and are open seasonally.
The Lemonyne area has a recently opened Senior Center, which provides a gathering place and serves lunch for area citizens.
