Constance, Nebraska, was originally called Centre Bow. The school went up in 1874. The people belonged to the St. Helena Parish until 1877 when Bow Valley established a parish and Centre-Bow became a mission under them. In 1888 Centre Bow was renamed Constance after the home town of the local priest who was from Konstanz, Switzerland. The Church was built in 1894 and was a mission until 1896. In May 1899, lightning destroyed the church tower and front of the church. The Holy Cross Chapel was built on the Lammers Ranch six miles southeast of Constance. The chapel was a mission to Constance until Fordyce was established.
