The One In Five Foundation For Kids selected Monowi, Nebraska, on Tuesday as the host of a memorial to the more than 500 students killed in school shootings since 1999.

It was the first memorial announced of 15 planned nationwide.

Monowi sits in north-central Nebraska near the South Dakota border and has a population of one.

One In Five said Monowi’s central location makes it the perfect place for a memorial.

“The county and Monowi itself, sit in the heart and direct geographic center of this nation,” founder Daniel Chapin said in a press release. “As such, we cannot think of a better location to truly memorialize those lost in the tragedy of school gun violence across this country than Monowi.”

Chapin also said Monowi’s lone resident — 87-year-old Elsie Eiler — serves as an example of the resilience required in the fight against gun violence.

“Elsie has kept the smallest city in America alive,” he said. “1 person — No matter where, can make a difference.”
