Tourist information
Nebraska is one of the confederate states belonging to the United States of America whose name originates from a word that has the meaning of calm water, referring to the Platte River which with its course crosses the whole territory of this state before throwing itself into the Missouri.
Originally it was a very arid area of the United States but later, with the major agricultural transformation works implemented, Nebraska even became one of the largest states in the economy based mainly on agriculture.
The neighboring states are Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota, Missouri, Kansas and Iowa.
Nebraska is made up of ninety-three counties and partly includes the Frontier Strip, that is the long border line that cuts the US in two parts going from the north borders to the south borders, starting from North Dakota and ending in Texas.
The two major geographical regions that make up Nebraska are basically two, namely the Dissected Till Plains and the Great Plains.
The eastern part of the state is the result of a strong erosion due to the movement of glaciers in the ice age which subsequently, retreating, gave rise to this area which stands out for having mainly undulating hills with a very fertile soil and it's called Dissected Till Plains.
In this region are the two main cities of Nebraska which are Omaha and Lincoln.
