Mexicans in Omaha, Nebraska
Mexicans in Omaha are people living in Omaha, Nebraska, United States who have citizenship or ancestral connections to the country Mexico. They have contributed to the economic, social and cultural well-being of Omaha for more than a century. Mexicans, or Latino people identified incorrectly as being from Mexico, have been accounted for in the history of Omaha, Nebraska since 1900. The entire Latino population of Omaha increased ninety percent between 1990 and 1997.〔Lopez, David A. (2000). ("Latinos in Omaha: An Examination of Socioeconomic Measures for Latinos in South Omaha." ) ''Statistical Brief No. 12''. The Julian Samora Research Institute at Michigan State University.〕
Mexican-Americans in Omaha have been extensively studied since at least the late 1920s.〔T. Earl Sullenger, (1929) "The Mexican Population of Omaha," ''Journal of Applied Sociology, VIII.'' May–June. p. 289.〕 In 1998 a Mexican immigrant family in Omaha was featured in a ''Washington Post'' article. The article noted reluctance by some immigrants to assimilate, in terms of their thinking they had to give up their language or culture. Studies since then have noted that Latino children, like many immigrant children, have adapted more readily to the United States, but also like many immigrant groups, are proud to maintain traditions.
==History==
The presence of Mexicans in Omaha was documented to the beginning of the city in 1854, and the first permanent residents arrived with the railroads in 1860.〔Arbelaez, Maria S. (2000) ("Good Friday in Omaha, Nebraska: A Mexican Celebration," ) In ''National Association of African American Studies & National Association of Hispanic and Latino Studies 2000 Literature Monograph Series.'' Proceedings (Culture Section) (Houston, TX, February 21–26, 2000). p 9. Retrieved 9/5/07.〕
1900 was the beginning of the first large wave of Mexicans immigrating to the U.S.〔McWilliams, C. and Meier, M.(1990) ''North from Mexico: The Spanish-Speaking People of the United States.'' . New York: Praeger.〕 According to the University of Nebraska at Omaha, around 1900, five Mexican-born residents lived in Omaha, and by 1910 there were twenty-nine. In 1920 there were 682 Mexicans in Omaha; in 1923 there were about 1,000. They lived in South Omaha, close to the three packing plants and the stockyards where many worked.〔Grajeda, R. (n.d.) (Mexicans in Nebraska ) Nebraska State Historical Society. Retrieved 3/12/07.〕 In 1950 the population of Mexicans in Douglas County was 450.〔Wheeler, W. (1975) ''An Almanac of Nebraska: Nationality, Ethnic, and Racial Groups.'' Omaha, NE: Park Bromwell Press.〕 The loss of jobs in the Great Depression drove many Mexicans back to Mexico, but approximately 900 stayed in Omaha.〔Arbelaez, Maria S. (2000) ("Good Friday in Omaha, Nebraska: A Mexican Celebration," ) In ''National Association of African American Studies & National Association of Hispanic and Latino Studies 2000 Literature Monograph Series.'' Proceedings (Culture Section) (Houston, TX, February 21–26, 2000). p 10. Retrieved 9/5/07.〕
