When you think about moving to a brand new home, the
prospect of finding a new place to live and having a real life adventure with
your family is definitely an appealing one. If you decided to move to the
beautiful state of Nebraska, however, you might find that the mystery goes
together with the adventure and that there are still a lot of things you don’t
know about this state. Note to if purchasing an older home make sure you have a roof repair Omaha inspector take a look at your roof, so you don't have a huge expense right off the bat.
Did you know Nebraska actually had several nicknames
throughout the decades? It was initially called "The Great American
Desert," but was later christened “The Tree Planter’s State.” The nickname
was changed in 1945 to “The Cornhusker State.”
If you’re a history buff, you probably already know that
Nebraska made significant contributions to the
war effort during WWII. What you might not know is that the Naval
Ammunition Depot in Hastings, Nebraska was the largest ammunition depot in the
United States that was dedicated to the cause of the war, providing up to 40%
of the entire ammunition that was used in the war.
Finally, if you ever had to dial 911, you might not have
known the fact that Nebraska was the first place where the lifesaving system

even though Alabama had the honor of being the first state where the system
officially went online.
