==History==
Prior to the establishment of Jackson, the townsite of Old St. John's was settled approximately 1.5 miles north of the current site of Jackson on June 2, 1856, by a [[Catholicism|Catholic]] colony of sixty Irish immigrants led by Father Trecy. The colony was one of the first towns settled in [[Dakota County, Nebraska|Dakota County]], and the first Catholic parish in Nebraska. When the rising [[Missouri River]] began to threaten the town around 1860, all of the residents of Old St. John's moved south to what is now known as Jackson.<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.nebraskahistory.org/publish/markers/texts/st_johns_1856.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040702232050/http://www.nebraskahistory.org/publish/markers/texts/st_johns_1856.htm|url-status=usurped|archive-date=July 2, 2004|title=St. John's, 1856|website=www.nebraskahistory.org|access-date=October 24, 2016}}</ref>
