About Nebraska

Nebraska is known as the Cornhusker State. Early explorers described Nebraska and the surrounding area as a “Great Desert.” Little did the explorers realize that Nebraska would become a breadbasket for the nation and much of the world. The pioneers who settled Nebraska in the late 1800's deserve much of the credit for transforming the State of Nebraska from a land considered unfit for cultivation to a top farming and agricultural production state.

Promised free land by the federal government under the 1862 Homestead Act, farmers steadfastly fought economic hardships, droughts and insects. In later years, scientific farming methods and irrigation dramatically increased farmers’ yields and brought prosperity to the state. Today, Nebraska ranks among the top states in many agricultural production categories.

Nebraska State Name

Nebraska has had two official state names: the “Tree Planters’ State” and the “Cornhusker 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,” thus repealing the 1895 act. 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.

Nebraska State American Folk Dance

Gov. Ben Nelson on September 19 1997 declared the square dance to be the official state American folk dance. Square dancing developed as the nation progressed toward the west. It became a popular diversion from the hardships settlers faced. Square dancing is called, cued or prompted to dancers. Related for ms include round dancing, clogging, contra dancing and line dancing.
