Council Bluffs’ location has put the town into contact with a lot
of history. Lewis and Clark and the Mormon pilgrims came through,
as did the westbound pioneers on the Oregon and California Trails.
Abraham Lincoln designated the town as milepost zero for the
transcontinental railroad. The first coast-to-coast automobile trip
passed through and later the first transcontinental highway.
Council Bluffs was the birthplace of Omaha and first war-time
mobile hospital. It also boasted the state’s first nursing school
and FM radio station as well as the largest rotary cell jail ever
built. This all created a lot of what we call history-- but at the
time it wasn’t intended that way at all. It was just normal people
finding innovative ways to solve problems, inventing the future one
day at a time. And that has made for some really interesting tales
that we intend to explore in this podcast series.
