State?s Flag: Adopted in 1925, bears the state seal. The seal displays a smith with a hummer and anvil; a settler?s cabin, wheat, and corn; and a steamboat on the Missouri River and a train. These symbolize the mechanical arts, agriculture, and transportation. In the background are the Rocky Mountains.

French fur traders first visited Nebraska in the late 1600s. Part of the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, eastern Nebraska was explored by Lewis and Clark in 1804?1806. A few years later, Robert Stuart pioneered the Oregon Trail across Nebraska in 1812?1813, and the first permanent white settlement was established at Bellevue in 1823. Nebraska is a leading grain-producer with bumper crops of sorghum, corn, and wheat. The state's sizable cattle and hog industries make Dakota City and Lexington among the nation's largest meat-packing centers.

Among the principal attractions are Agate Fossil Beds, Homestead, and Scotts Bluff National Monuments; Chimney Rock National Historic Site; a recreated pioneer village at Minden; SAC Museum near Ashland; the Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer Grand Island; Boys Town; the Sheldon Memorial Art Gallery and the Lied Center for the Performing Arts at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln; the State Capitol in Lincoln; the Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha; the Henry Doorly Zoo in Omaha; Museum of Nebraska Art in Kearney; Museum of Nebraska History in Lincoln; and the University of Nebraska State Museum in Lincoln.
