Who are the town and county named after?

Mullen became a town in 1889. The Burlington Northern Railroad played a vital part of the development of the town. The town was named for one of the prominent employees of the railroad by the last name of Mullen.

Nebraska liked to name counties after famous people, especially those involved in the Civil War. Our county was named for the Union General Joseph P. Hooker.
