The name 'Omaha" according to Indian legend means "above all others upon a stream" and was established in 1854. The city grew rapidly in 1863 when President Lincoln located the eastern terminus of the first transcontinental railroad in Omaha. We've been growing ever since.

Located right in the center of the U.S., it generally takes less than four hours by plane to reach either coast. We are strategically located at the intersection of Interstates 80 & 29, in addition 12 other highways converge in the area. The area consists of gently rolling hills along the Missouri River. Our climate is described as continental- relatively warm summers and cold dry winters.

Because of our centralized location in the U.S., Omaha has become the hub of the burgeoning information technology services industry. Businesses such as Telecommunications, Computer Outsourcing, Credit Card Processing, Long Distance Telephone Services, Telemarketing, Fiber Optics, etc., have all shown a growing presence.

Omaha is well known for its attractions. Such as the Henry Doorly Zoo-a world class zoo with attendance reaching 1.6 million annually, Rosenblatt Stadium -home to the College World Series since 1949, over 10 museums, The Rose- the nation's third largest Children's Theatre, over 28 Performing arts organizations and the list goes on.

We at Lamar Omaha want you to know that Omaha is the place to be! The Omaha Chamber of Commerce supplied some of the information provided and they invite you to tour our city at accessomaha.com.
