Omaha, Arkansas

Omaha, Arkansas is a town located in Boone County, Arkansas. Omaha was founded on February 1st, 1936.Omaha did not incorporate as a town until 1936. The town continued to survive, mostly due to the school district and to traffic on the railroad and the highway. The school and gym burned in 1951, but both were soon rebuilt.
