Omaha is the largest city in the state of Nebraska, United States, and is the county seat of Douglas County.

A stop on the Lewis & Clark National Historic Trail, it's known for its pioneer history, museums and cultural centers.
The modern economy of Omaha is diverse and built on skilled knowledge jobs.
