The neutral encyclopedia of notable people

Lincoln is the capital city of Nebraska and the state's second-largest city, located in the southeastern part of the state. Founded in 1867 as the village of Lancaster, it was renamed Lincoln when designated as the state capital and has since grown into a major center for government, education, and agriculture. The city is home to the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the state's flagship public university founded in 1869, which has produced numerous notable alumni in fields ranging from politics and journalism to entertainment and sports.

The presence of state government institutions and the university has made Lincoln a hub for public service, academia, and related professions. The city's economy also benefits from its position in Nebraska's agricultural heartland, supporting industries in food processing, manufacturing, and agricultural technology that have fostered business and entrepreneurial talent.
