==Geography==
According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the village has a total area of {{convert|0.39|sqmi|sqkm|2}}, all land.<ref name="Gazetteer files">{{cite web |title=US Gazetteer files 2010 |url=https://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/files/Gaz_places_national.txt |publisher=[[United States Census Bureau]] |accessdate=June 24, 2012 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120305202951/http://www.census.gov/geo/www/gazetteer/gazette.html |archivedate=March 5, 2012 }}</ref>

==Naming history==
In 1886, the Lincoln Land Company purchased land in the Union township. The Lincoln Land Company's business was to purchase land along the railroad and develop towns along the line. In May, a town was platted and named "Huntington", after an employee's home town in Pennsylvania.<ref name=casde>Sherard, Gerald E. [http://www.casde.unl.edu/history/counties/hamilton/giltner/ "Giltner--Hamilton County".] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140311063112/http://www.casde.unl.edu/history/counties/hamilton/giltner/ |date=March 11, 2014 }} [http://www.casde.unl.edu/history/index.php Nebraska... Our Towns.] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111123132824/http://www.casde.unl.edu/history/index.php |date=November 23, 2011 }} Retrieved March 10, 2014.</ref>

In February 1887, the post office asked that the town's name be changed, due to the original name's similarity to [[Hartington, Nebraska]]. The town was accordingly given the name "Bromfield". By 1890, there was a local newspaper called the ''Bromfield Bulletin'', as well as a number of stores and services, a lumberyard, two grain elevators, a school, a saloon and a church. At this time, the population of Bromfield was just under 200 people.<ref name=casde/>

The town was renamed again in 1895, again at the request of the post office, and again because of its similarity to that of another town: [[Bloomfield, Nebraska]]. The new name was chosen to honor H. M. Giltner, the minister who had established the town's Presbyterian church.<ref name=casde/>

==Baseball==
Giltner was home to [[minor league baseball]]. In 1903, the [[Giltner (baseball)|Giltner team]] played as charter members of the short–lived [[Central Nebraska League]], an [[Independent baseball league|Independent]] level five-team league. The Central Nebraska League folded after the 1903 season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/league.cgi?id=3a663489|title=1903 Central Nebraska League|website=Baseball-Reference.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/team.cgi|title=1903 Giltner Statistics|website=Baseball-Reference.com}}</ref>
