Are you a biker from the great state of Nebraska? If you are, then you definitely need this Nebraska patch! There are many different state rocker patches available, but the best one is this simple arched patch that has the state name embroidered on it. It measures 4 by 1.75 inches and can easily fit on the shoulder of your jacket. As one of the Great Plains states, Nebraska sits near the center of the United States. Temperatures vary greatly between winter and summer, and the state often sees pretty fierce thunderstorms. However, the state is also home to some of the most hard working people in the country.
Nebraska was first settled by a number of different Native American tribes, including the Missouria, Pawnee, Ponca, and Omaha tribes. Later in the 1730s, French-Canadian explorers arrived in the area, followed by the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the early 1800s. With the founding of Fort Atkinson in 1819, a number of other settlers came to Nebraska, and in 1854, Nebraska Territory was created. In 1867, Nebraska formally became a state with Lincoln as its capital.
Much of Nebraska is dedicated to agriculture, and the state is one of the larger states in terms of beef, pork, corn, and soybean production. Rail and truck transportation, manufacturing, and insurance are other large economic areas for the state. Nebraska is also known for being the home of Berkshire Hataway, the company controlled by Warren Buffett, home of the Union Pacific Railroad, and the state in which Kool-Aid was created.
If you're headed to Nebraska, you'll certainly want to visit Omaha, the state's largest city, Lincoln, its capital, and some of the other major cities such as Grand Island, Norfolk, and Bellevue.
