Omaha is the biggest city in the state of Nebraska.

Omaha earned its nickname, the "Gateway City of the West", because of its location at the center of the US. With the development of railroads in the mid-1800s, Omaha became a critical hub for trade and industry. It was an industrial powerhouse into the mid-20th century, with the second largest stockyards and meatpacking industry in the world, and the fifth largest grain and milling center.

Today Omaha has a rich cultural background, including the Joslyn Art Museum, the Durham Western Heritage Museum, the Holland Performing Arts Center, and the Omaha Community Playhouse. The city is also home to many notable companies such as Berkshire Hathaway, Union Pacific, and Conagra. In 2001 Newsweek identified the city as one of the Top 10 high-tech havens, showing how much the economy has changed from its industrial roots.
