Nebraska, known as the “Cornhusker State”, joined the Union on March 1, 1867 as the 37th state. The name Nebraska comes from a Native American word for “flat water”, referring to the Platte River.
Nebraska, in the West North Central Region, is bordered on the north by South Dakota, the east by Iowa and Missouri, by Kansas on the south, Colorado on the southwest, and the west by Wyoming. Nebraska is one of the six states - the Dakotas, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas - called the Frontier Strip, which form a north-south line from Canada to Mexico and the Gulf, and roughly correspond to the Great Plains. Eastern Nebraska is part of the rich farm land along the western edge of the “Corn Belt”.
