Located on the Missouri River, Omaha has grown into a metropolitan city with 700,000 residents. It is the largest city in Nebraska and includes two-thirds of the state's entire population. Omaha has emerged from a frontier town to a thriving cosmopolitan city and is consistently ranked high in national surveys.

Forbes Magazine ranked Omaha in the top 15 cities for its economy and quality of life and Parenting Magazine posted Omaha in the top 10 cities for raising a family.

Places & Events

The city offers its residents the advantages of living in a big city with a professional symphony, ballet, opera, one of the country's most progressive zoos and is home to the College World Series. Yet, it still carries the small town lifestyle associated with a strong community and family values orientation.
