Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: NAN-NEW
NEBRASKA CITY , a city and the county-seat of Otoe county, Nebraska, U.S.A., situated on the high W. bank of the Missouri river, about 40 M. below Omaha. Pop. (188o) 4183; (1890) 11,494; (1900) 7380 (882 foreign-born); (1910) 5488. It is served by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, and the Missouri Pacific railway systems. A railway and wagon
bridge
  spans the Missouri. The city is the seat of the state Institute for the Blind (1875), and has three public parks and a public library. The city is a distributing centre for a beautiful farming region, the
trade
  in
grain
  being especially large. In 'goo Nebraska City ranked third among the manufacturing cities of the state, the manufactures including canned fruits and vegetables, packed pork, flour, oatmeal, hominy, grits,
meal
 ,
starch
 , cider-vinegar, agricultural implements, windmills, paving bricks, concrete, sewer pipe, beer, over-alls and shirts. It is one of the oldest settlements of the state. The first " old Fort Kearney " was established on the site of Nebraska City in 1847, but was abandoned in 1848, and the fort was re-established farther W. on the Platte Iver (see KEARNEY). Otoe county was organized in 1855, and the
original
  Nebraska City was incorporated and made the county-seat in the same year. This city, together with Kearney City, incorporated in 1855adjacent to the first " old " Fort Kearneyand
South
  Nebraska City, were consolidated by the legislature into the present Nebraska City in 1858. (Twelve other city " additions " and so-called " towns," all within or closely adjacent to the present city, were in existence in 1857.) Nebraska City was for some years the largest city of the state. In 1858 it became the headquarters of a
great
  freighting-firm that distributed supplies for the United States government among the army posts between the Missouri river and the Rocky Mountains; in seven months in 1859 this one firm employed 602 men, used 517 wagons, 5682 oxen, and 75 mules, and shipped 2,782,258 lb. of freight. Nebraska City was the initial point of several roads, parts at one time or another of the"
Oregon
 ," " Old California," and "
Great
 
Salt
  Lake " trails. (See NEBRASKA (State): History.) Nebraska City became a city of the second class in 1871 and a city of the first class in 1901.
