The name “Nebraska” comes from the Oto Indian word “nebrathka,” meaning “flat water.” This name originally referred to Nebraska’s Platte River. Nebraska was once called “The Great American Desert”. Located in the middle of the United States, Nebraska is home to small towns and vast stretches of farmland, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot happening. Nebraska has more miles of river than any other state. Date admitted to the Union: Friday, March 1, 1867.
The world’s largest hand-planted forest is Halsey National Forrest near Thedford, Nebraska.
