Omaha Nebraska
Omaha, Nebraska used to be Nebraska’s capital before it got replaced by Lincoln (which was, at the time called “Lancaster”) back in the late 1860’s. Nevertheless, Omaha, Nebraska is the biggest city anyone can find in the Cornhuskers’ State with a size of about three hundred and nine square kilometers. While it had lost its status as state capital, Omaha still remains one of the more important cities in Nebraska as the county seat of the Douglas County and as the anchor of the Omaha-Council Bluffs metropolitan area.
Omaha, Nebraska was first settled in around the mid-1800s, and the dream of its cityhood has been the brainchild of a Mr. William Brown. The dream came to fruition in the fourth of July 1854, when Omaha, Nebraska was officially founded as a city not long after the Kansas-Nebraska Act was passed. Years of sub-cultural growth and corruption would pass before the opening of the Offutt Air Force Base in the 1930’s somewhat straightened it out, although some others believed that Omaha, Nebraska’s improvement was due to the influence of the Civil Rights Movements that were rampant in Nebraska; some civil rights groups founded in Omaha, Nebraska in the early 1900s are supposedly still active today.
