Omaha is the largest city in the state of Nebraska and is home to three historical trails: The Mormon Trail, the Oregon Trail and the Lewis and Clark expedition. Because of its central location as a transportation hub for the United States in the late 1800s, Omaha was given the nickname "Gateway to the West".Omaha Public Library: Early Omaha: Gateway to the West
Early History
The land which is now Omaha was acquired in 1803 as part of the Louisiana Purchase. Omaha City was founded on July 4, 1854Historic Omaha: A Short History of the Early Development of Omaha, Nebraska after a treaty was signed between the Omaha Tribe and American settlers. Well before this treaty was reached, however, many residents of Iowa had already crossed the Missouri River to illegally claim land. The area was home to several Native American tribes who eventually sold their claims and moved to northern Nebraska. As the city grew, it experiences several civil outbursts including the Greek Town Riot and Omaha Race Riot.Anwers.com: Omaha-
