About Nebraska
Nebraska entered the Union on March 1, 1867, as the 37th state. Nebraska is a Northwestern state. Nebraska is bounded by South Dakota on the north, Kansas on the south, the Missouri River and the states of Iowa and Missouri on the east, and Wyoming and Colorado on the west.
Halfway between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, Nebraska is a state of variation. Climate, soil, vegetation, and land changes considerably across the state. The large urban centers of the eastern part of the state give way to small rural communities farther west, where there are large wheat fields and vast expanses of grazing land. Rolling hills and forested valleys in the east contrast sharply with the treeless plains and intermittent streams farther west. The Platte River and its tributaries drain most of the state, and the Platte’s broad valley serves as a transportation corridor linking cities with farms and west with east. The river has also indirectly given the state its name, because Nebrathka, meaning flat water, was the Oto name for the Platte River. Nebraska is called the Cornhusker State in reference to its primary agricultural crop.
From the eastern boundary of Nebraska many explorers, fur traders, and adventurers started their trek across the plains and the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Coast. Later, settlers moved into the area, seeking inexpensive or free farmland or better opportunities in a growing region. The first land claim under the Homestead Act of 1862 was made in Nebraska, and the eastern end of the first transcontinental railroad was in Omaha, Nebraska’s largest city. In the 1860s, the first great wave of homesteaders poured into Nebraska to claim free land granted by the federal government. Many of the first farm settlers built their homes out of sod because they found so few trees on the grassy land.
Omaha began as a ferry company, in the 1850s, and was chosen in 1854 as the capital of the territory. Local businessmen succeeded in attracting the railroad, and Omaha became an important transportation hub for much of the country.
In 1919, Omaha experienced a race riot, when a black man named Will Brown was arrested and accused of raping a white woman. A mob took him out of the Douglas County Jail and hanged him from a lamppost on the southern side of the courthouse. He was then dismembered, burned and dragged through the streets by a crowd of European-born immigrants and European Americans. When the mayor attempted to intervene, he was also hanged; he survived only in a last minute rescue by federal agents. The city courthouse was set on fire and seriously damaged. Six years later, Malcolm X was born in Omaha.
Lincoln is the state capital of Nebraska. Originally named Lancaster, the town was renamed Lincoln following the assassination of President Lincoln, and designated as the capital of Nebraska.
