Omaha Overview

Located on the western bank of the Missouri River, Omaha was founded in 1854 to outfit those traveling the Oregon and Mormon trails. It wasn't until 1863, when President Lincoln made Omaha the eastern terminus of the first transcontinental railroad, that the city began to grow. Today, Nebraska's largest city, with a population of 400,000, comes as something of a surprise to first-time visitors or those returning after many years. While its zoo—one of the nation's most unique—has long been a top draw as Nebraska's number-one tourist attraction, Omaha boasts several other outstanding attractions too, including a drive-through wildlife park, a museum devoted to U.S. military aircraft and missiles, and Boys Town, made famous in a 1938 film starring Spencer Tracy and Mickey Rooney.
