The real founding figures

[edit]

I finally found a source for inclusion or exclusion on the list for this page. It seems several included names actually come from the second period of Omaha's existence, and that the list is missing a lot of folks from the first. The names follow, and many will be incorporated in the list soon. Listed according to the dates representing the time that they "first stepped on Nebraska soil."[1]

The number of first actual settlers is very small but if we draw a distinction between first settlers and old settlers we can name quite number of persons who may be regarded as among the latter. Any person who came to Omaha previous to 1860 ought to be and is regarded as an old settler.

Father de Smet was an early missionary in the Omaha area and T. B. Roye ran a trading post from 1825-1828.[2]
