The
Flag of Nebraska
Nebraska (
nə-BRASS -kə ) is a triply landlocked
state in the
Midwestern region of the
United States . It borders
South Dakota to the north;
Iowa to the east and
Missouri to the southeast, both across the
Missouri River ;
Kansas to the south;
Colorado to the southwest; and
Wyoming to the west. Nebraska is the
16th largest state by land area , with just over 77,220 square miles (200,000 km2 ). With a population of over 1.9 million, it is the
37th most populous state and the
7th least densely populated . Its
capital is
Lincoln , and its
most populous city is
Omaha , which is on the
Missouri River . Nebraska was admitted into the United States in 1867, two years after the end of the
American Civil War . The
Nebraska Legislature is unlike any other American legislature in that it is
unicameral , and its members are elected without any official reference to
political party affiliation .
Nebraska is composed of two major land regions: the
Dissected Till Plains and the
Great Plains . The Dissected Till Plains region consists of gently rolling hills and contains the state's largest cities, Omaha and Lincoln. The Great Plains region, occupying most of western Nebraska, is characterized by treeless
prairie . Eastern Nebraska has a
humid continental climate while western Nebraska is primarily
semi-arid . The state has wide variations between winter and summer temperatures; the variations decrease in southern Nebraska. Violent
thunderstorms and
tornadoes occur primarily during spring and summer, and sometimes in autumn.
Chinook wind tends to warm the state significantly in the winter and early spring.
Indigenous peoples, including
Omaha ,
Missouria ,
Ponca ,
Pawnee ,
Otoe , and various branches of the
Lakota (
Sioux ) tribes, lived in the region for thousands of years before
European discovery and exploration . The state is crossed by many historic trails, including that of the
Lewis and Clark Expedition . The completion of the
Transcontinental Railroad through Nebraska and passage of the
Homestead Acts led to rapid growth in the population of
American settlers in the 1870s and 1880s and the development of a large agriculture sector for which the state is known to this day. (

Monument at Mud Springs Pony Express station site
The
Battle of Mud Springs took place February 4–6, 1865, in
Nebraska between the U.S. army and warriors of the
Lakota
Sioux ,
Cheyenne , and
Arapaho tribes. It was part of a series of retaliations by the Native American alliance after the U.S. army committed the
Sand Creek Massacre . The battle was inconclusive, although the Indians succeeded in capturing some Army horses and a herd of several hundred cattle.
Mud Springs is located 8 mi northwest of
Dalton, Nebraska , and is today a
National Historic Site . (
