Nebraska immigrants shaped state history and names
Oscar Hidlin notes that immigrant history is American history and Nebraska’s growth from 1854 onward reflects diverse European roots. The Nebraska State Historical Society records show large foreign-born and mixed heritage populations and place names from German Czech Danish Polish Irish and more reflecting a strong ancestral identity.
