FACTS ABOUT NEBRASKA
A GREAT TEAM BUILDING LOCATION
In the 1860s, the first great wave of homesteaders poured into Nebraska to claim free land granted by the federal government. Many of the first farm settlers built their homes out of sod because they found so few trees on the grassy land. Over the years, people made it their mission to plant trees and develop agrigulture. Nebraska is now a leading farming state. Nebraskans have practiced scientific farming to turn the Nebraska prairie into a land rich with ranches & farms as well as booming urban centers.
Nebraska gets its name from a Native American (Oto) word meaning “flat water,” after the Platte River that flows through the state.
Nebraska was designated the “Tree Planters’ State” by legislative action in 1895. Nebraska’s claim to tree-planting fame includes the founding of Arbor Day in 1872 by J. Sterling Morton of Nebraska City, the Timber Culture Act of U.S. Sen. Phineas W. Hitchcock in 1873, and the millions of trees planted by early settlers as windbreaks, woodlots and orchards.
The 1945 Legislature changed the official state name to the “Cornhusker State.” The name is derived from the nickname for the University of Nebraska athletic teams, the Cornhuskers. The term “cornhusker” comes from the method of harvesting or “husking” corn by hand, which was common before the invention of husking machinery.
