History of South Omaha: 1880-1915

South Omaha began as a waystation between cattle ranges located in Wyoming, the Nebraska Sandhills and the great meat market of Chicago. It soon became one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, fueled entirely by America's hunger for beef. Join us as we explore South Omaha in the dynamic and independent Magic City era.

History of South Omaha: 1915-1975

During this turbulent era, South Omaha faced many changes that affected its very identity, starting with the unwanted annexation by Omaha in 1915. Its ethnic makeup was altered by the Immigration Act of 1924. The Great Depression and World War II brought further challenges, but by the late 1950s, South Omaha had grown into the largest meatpacking district in the world. Prosperity faltered a decade later as the meatpackers faced the threat of obsolescence and a deindustrializing economy. Join us for a 60-year retrospective that brings South Omaha history to the modern era.
