Nebraska became the 37th state on March 1, 1867.
Its civic life includes agriculture, the Platte River, Omaha, Lincoln, small towns, rail and freight networks, water policy, schools, and the nation’s only unicameral state legislature. Public decisions often involve rural services, property taxes, education, infrastructure, and the relationship between local communities and a distinctive state lawmaking system. This page exists to get residents from background context to Nebraska’s actual representatives and the primary sources that document state government.
