"The "Magic City" of South Omaha had grown from a reported population of 8,062 in 1890 to 26,001 in 1900 and in the later year was home to 5,607 persons of foreign birth…Germans, Czechs, Swedes, and Irish were the greatest of these." Upstream Metropolis, Larsen, Cottrell, et al, p. 164-65

      Michael Rips reports on the Miller Hotel – formerly at 27th and N Streets – which was a brothel operated by his great grandparents in his book The Face of a Naked Lady – An Omaha Family Mystery.

      Today, approximately 35,000 residents residing in more than 12,000 households are within the boundaries of the South Omaha Development Project. Close to half of the residents identify themselves as Hispanic or Latino.
