Nebraska is a state
located on the Great Plains of the Midwestern United States.
The state's capital is Lincoln and its largest city
is Omaha. Nebraska
probably gets its name from the archaic Otoe
words Ñí Brásge,
or the Omaha Ní
Btháska, meaning "flat water," after
the Platte
River that flows through the state. American Indian
tribes in Nebraska have included the Iowas, Omahas, Missourias, Poncas, Pawnees, Otoes, and
various branches of the Sioux. Once
considered part of the Great American Desert
(actually highly biodiverse prairie
land), it is now a leading farming and ranching
state On May 30, 1854, the Kansas-Nebraska Act created
the Kansas Territory and the Nebraska Territory, divided
by the Parallel 40° North.[4] The
territorial capital of Nebraska was Omaha. 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. Nebraska became the 37th state in 1867,
shortly after the American Civil War. At that
time, the capital was moved from Omaha
to Lancaster, later renamed Lincoln after the recently
assassinated President of the United
States, Abraham Lincoln. |
