Like I said Nebraska is home to many important things, you can always read them up but here are a few things that came from Nebraska:
- Kool Aid (the powdered drink mix);
- The Reuben sandwich;
- The TV Dinner;
- Collapsible Voting Booths.
They are also famous for such things as:
- The largest underground lake/water supply (aquifer) in the USA, the Ogalala aquifer
- No other state has as many miles of rivers
- The world’s largest indoor rain forest, The Lied Jungle (in Omaha)
Now they also have some significant of facts. With one of them being most important to the trucking industry, it relates to their highway system.
The National Interstate and Defense Highways Act of 1956, was passed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Nebraska was proud to be the first state to complete their portion. A four lane highway that consisted of about 455 miles, this was finished in 1974.
Since then Nebraska has built and/or improved numerous roads and highways. These cut all across the state the most common is highway 80, which runs east and west.
