Bellevue is the oldest continuous settlement in Nebraska and the state’s third-largest city, located in Sarpy County along the Missouri River. Originally a fur trading post in the 1830s, Bellevue’s history reflects the growth of the American frontier. Today, its economy is closely tied to Offutt Air Force Base, government services, technology, and education. The city features extensive parks, scenic bluffs, and trails overlooking the river. The community hosts cultural festivals, farmers’ markets, and patriotic events. With its blend of heritage, military presence, and family-friendly amenities, Bellevue remains one of Nebraska’s most vibrant and historic communities.
