Before European exploration, Nebraska was home to various Native American tribes, including the Omaha, Ponca, and Pawnee.

Nebraska became the 37th state in 1867.

Omaha, Nebraska’s largest city, boasts a population of 466,893 as of 2024. The city’s roots date back to the War of 1812 when it was a fur trading post. Today, Omaha is home to several Fortune 500 companies, including Berkshire Hathaway and Union Pacific. It has been the birthplace of notable figures such as Warren Buffett, Fred Astaire, and Marlon Brando, as well as the origin of TV dinners and Kool-Aid (invented in Hastings in 1927).
Lincoln, the state capital, and Bellevue are the next largest cities. Nebraska’s economy thrives on agriculture, finance, insurance, and transportation industries. Forbes ranked Nebraska 4th on its list of ‘Best Places to Do Business.’
