    In the year 1854, the Kansas-Nebraska Act formed the Kansas Territory as well as the Nebraska Territory, separated by the corresponding forty degrees north. The defensive capital of Nebraska was Omaha.

    During the 1860s, the primary great wave of homesteaders came in huge clusters to Nebraska to claim liberated land which had been granted by the federal administration. Nebraska on the whole is a Great Plains state of the USA. It gets it name from a Native American term meaning "flat water" after the Platte River which passes through the state.

    The total area of this region is 200,520 square kilometres. According to the census conducted in the year 2000 the total population of this region was 1,711,263, having an average density of 8.6 per square kilometre.
