Colonel Stephen Boyd Miles (January 9, 1822 – October 30, 1898) was a frontiersman, stagecoach magnate, cattle rancher, banker and philanthropist in Nebraska and the greater American Midwest. His obituary in the Falls City Journal stated, "Mr. Miles was a man of great business ability and accumulated much of this world's goods, and left a fortune gained by hard effort, much of it literally dug in the sweat of his brow from the virgin soil of a new country."
