What I am really looking for is information on the tunnels in the hillside along Florence Blvd. You know those woods? There's old tunnels up in those cliffs, which I heard were either for freed slaves back, back in the day, or moonshining in the 1920s. Either way, I can't find anything online!

Hobo City

"One problem area was Hobo Park. It was a square block where the hobos used to drink wine and lay around. There was a lady, connected with the Omaha World- Herald newspaper, who didn't want us to take Hobo Park and she had quite a bit of clout in Omaha. We proposed a relocation that was close to the World-Herald building and through a section of Omaha that the World-Herald had planned-on for future expansion. She then withdrew her objection and we went over Hobo Park." (Stephen R. Gilbert, 1985 Interview)[2]

See this webpage for source on the following bullets.

  • A Jewish synagogue was once located at 30th and Cuming.
  • There was a Jewish funeral chapel at 19th and Cuming Streets.
  • There was a synagogue at 12th and Capitol.
  • Years ago businesses in the 24th & Lake area were owned and operated by Ukrainian Jews.
  • Some houses in the area around the Great Plains Black History Museum, and on up further north and east along Ames to Commercial Avenue and 16th Street, have hip-roofed, four-square and grambel types. These were indicative of the German, English, and Scandinavian immigrants who lived in that area.

Ethnicity in Omaha

Ethnicities in Omaha have been diverse since the founding of the city of Omaha in 1854, and people from different immigrant groups have contributed to the growth of the city in a variety of ways. In 1910, 57.4% of all Omahans were immigrants.[4]


Studies about the ethnic makeup of Omaha have suggested that ghettoization of immigrants did not occur to the extent previously assumed.[5]

African Americans in Nebraska

African-Americans in Nebraska after the Civil War Following the Civil War, African-Americans began to establish themselves in Nebraska. In 1860, there were an estimated 82 African-Americans living in the state. By 1900 that number had risen to 6,269. Most African-Americans moved to Omaha, where chances were greater of finding work. Most opportunities for employment were found with the railroads, packing houses or other labor fields. The 1910 census, however, states that one physician and surgeon, 25 musicians and teachers of music and 14 clergymen of African-American descent lived in Nebraska.

History books indicate that African-Americans contributed to the settlement of Nebraska. In 1870, Robert Anderson was the first African-American to homestead in Box Butte County. Other homesteaders included L.B. Mattingly who resided near David City, and David Patrick, who lived in Hamilton County.

African-American organizations began to crop up in Omaha such as the Women's Club in 1895 and newspapers such as the Progress, the Afro-American Sentinel, and The Enterprise in the 1880s and 1890s. Early African-American churches in Omaha included St. John AME Church, St. Phillip the Deacon, and the Zion Baptist Church.

Many African-Americans from this area distinquished themselves in public life: Dr. Matthew O. Ricketts was the first African- American to serve in the Nebraska Legislature in 1892; Silas Robbins was the first African-American to be admitted to the Nebraska State Bar Association in 1895; and Clarence W. Wigington was the first African-American to design a home in Nebraska.[6]

Norwegians

Norwegian immigrants assimilated quickly into the fabric of Omaha. After initially settling in far North Omaha near Florence, many Norwegian, Swedish, Danish and Finnish immigrants scattered throughout the city.[7]

Omaha lead info

Funding for schools and racial segregation have been contentious issues for education in the Omaha Public Schools and surrounding districts for the last several years. This tension was relieved in early 2007 when the Nebraska Legislature developed a plan to use learning communities that ensure socioeconomic diversity. Education experts have called this plan, "an important model to watch."[10] Crime in Omaha is comparable to other U.S. cities of similar size, with racial tension and methamphetamine use among top social issues.[11]
