The word Ak-Sar-Ben holds no special meaning, it is simply "Nebraska" spelled backwards. In the 1800's a group of businessmen formed a group called the Knights of Ak-Sar-Ben which is still in existance today. The group operated a very popular race track until the 1990. They host a rodeo, 4-H expositions and a large celebration called River City Round Up. They also award scholarships and aid in other educational programs.

Ak-Sar-Ben (pronounced ak-ZAR-ben) is a popular name in the area for businesses as well as the largest amateur radio club in the area.
