North Omaha was a diverse and vibrant community in Omaha's early years. Businesses flourished along 24th street well into the 1950's. Stately homes, parks and jazz halls made this area a cultural center of Omaha. North Omaha was also the location of the Trans-Mississippi Exposition of 1898, a celebration of technology designed to show that life was civilized west of the Mississippi River as well as Florence, the Mormon settlement of the 1840's.
