Omaha is the largest city in the state of Nebraska. During the 19th century, Omaha’s central location propelled the city to become an essential national transportation hub. Throughout the rest of the 19th century, the transportation and jobbing sectors greatly contributed to the city’s success, along with its railroads and breweries.

Today, Omaha is celebrated for its diverse economy and its comprehensive quality of life amenities. Forbes placed the region at the summit on its “Best Bang-For-The-Buck Cities” list. Omaha’s economy is significantly sustained by the amount of tourism the city attracts annually. The Henry Doorly Zoo is the top attraction, and Omaha hosted the U.S. Olympic swim trials in 2008, 2012, and is slated to do so again in 2016.
