Our City, the state's oldest,
was incorporated in
1855.
While its population of almost 50,000 may not
equal the crowd at a Cornhusker game, it is enough to place the City third
in the state, behind Omaha and Lincoln.
Bellevue shares its
northern border with Omaha and its southern edge with
Offutt
Air Force Base, home of U.S. Stratcom, a joint command staffed by
members from all branches of the military.
During the decade of the
1990s, the City saw its population grow by an impressive 47.5%. The
population boom has continued after the turn of the century.
Despite its growth and
proximity to Omaha, Bellevue is proud of its small town atmosphere.
