The Flag of Nebraska Nebraska state in the Midwestern region of the United States. It is bordered by South Dakota to the north; Iowa to the east and Missouri to the southeast, both across the Missouri River ; Kansas to the south; Colorado to the southwest; and Wyoming to the west.
Indigenous peoples, including Omaha , Missouria , Ponca , Pawnee , Otoe , and various branches of the Lakota (Sioux ) tribes, lived in the region for thousands of years before European exploration. The state is crossed by many historic trails, including that of the Lewis and Clark Expedition .
Nebraska is the 16th largest state by land area , with just over 77,220 square miles (200,000 km2 ), but with a population of over 1.9 million, it is the 37th most populous state and the 7th least densely populated .
