Description

View of Omaha, Douglas County, N.E., 1868 / drawn & published by A. Ruger.

This bird’s-eye view print of Omaha, Nebraska was drawn by Albert Ruger and published by Chicago Lith. Co. in 1868. Omaha looks fresh in its early days as the “Gateway to the West” with boatloads and trainloads of speculators and travelers moved westward from this point. The site on which Omaha stands had long been an important ferry landing along the Missouri River. Omaha was the designated capital of the Nebraska Territory until 1867, when Nebraska was given statehood and the capital was removed to Lincoln.

The Union Pacific Railroad began its westbound construction from Omaha in 1866.
