Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Lincoln, Nebraska was founded in 1856 as the village of Lancaster on the banks of the Salt Creek. It was chosen as the state capital of Nebraska in 1867 due to its central location within the state. The city was renamed Lincoln in honor of President Abraham Lincoln, who had recently been assassinated. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Lincoln experienced rapid growth and development as the agricultural and educational hub of the state. The University of Nebraska was established in Lincoln in 1869, solidifying the city’s reputation as a center for education and innovation. Throughout its history, Lincoln has been a hub for politics, culture, and industry in Nebraska. The city has weathered economic downturns and natural disasters, but has always emerged stronger and more resilient. Today, Lincoln is a thriving city with a diverse population and a strong economy, continuing to grow and evolve while honoring its rich history.
