Nebraska is bordered by South Dakota to the north; Iowa to the east and Missouri to the southeast, both across the Missouri River; Kansas to the south; Colorado to the southwest; and Wyoming to the west. Indigenous peoples, including Omaha, Missouria, Ponca, Pawnee, Otoe, and various branches of the Lakota tribes, lived in the region for thousands of years before European exploration.

About Nebraska in brief
Nebraska is bordered by South Dakota to the north; Iowa to the east and Missouri to the southeast, both across the Missouri River; Kansas to the south; Colorado to the southwest; and Wyoming to the west. Indigenous peoples, including Omaha, Missouria, Ponca, Pawnee, Otoe, and various branches of the Lakota tribes, lived in the region for thousands of years before European exploration. The state is crossed by many historic trails, including that of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Nebraska was admitted into the United States in 1867, two years after the end of the American Civil War. The Nebraska Legislature is unlike any other American legislature in that it is unicameral, and its members are elected without any official reference to political party affiliation. Nebraska’s name is the result of anglicization of the archaic Otoe words Ñí Brásge, pronounced , or the Omaha Ní Btháska, pronounced, meaning \”flat water\”, after the Platte River which flows through the state. Nebraska is composed of two major land regions: the Dissected Till Plains and the Great Plains. The western half of the state has a primarily semi-arid climate. The state has wide variations between winter and summer temperatures, variations that decrease moving south within theState. Violent thunderstorms and tornadoes occur primarily during spring and summer and sometimes in autumn. The Great Plains region, occupying most of western Nebraska, is characterized by treeless prairie.
Nebraska has two major climatic zones: the humid continental climate ; a unique warmer subtype considered \”warm-temperate\” exists near the southern plains, which is analogous to that in Kansas and Oklahoma, which have a predominantly humid subtropical climate. It is the only triply landlocked U.S. state. It has a population of almost 1.9 million. Its capital is Lincoln, and the largest city is Omaha, which are both on the Missouri river. The area is just over 77,220 square miles with aPopulation of nearly 1.7 million. The largest city in the state is Omaha and its population is about 1.8 million. It was admitted to the U.N. as a state in 1861. The first European settlement in Nebraska was James Mackay’s Fort Atkinson, near present-day Homer, Nebraska, in 1819. In 1827, the first U. S. Army post was established as the first S. Army fort in 1827 as migration moved further west. On May 30, 1854, the US Congress created the Nebraska, Kansas and Kansas territories, under the 40°–Nebraska Act. In 1860, the Nebraska Territory included parts of the current states of Colorado, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, and Montana. The territorial capital of Nebraska was Omaha, and it was named after the Omaha, Omaha, or the Otoe. The city of Omaha is now the state’s largest city.
