Founded by speculators from Iowa in 1854, Omaha’s position as a central transportation hub along the Missouri river earned it the nickname “Gateway to the West.” The hometown and birthplace of famous investor Warren Buffet, it is now a modern cosmopolitan city home to numerous fortune 500 companies.
