The name Lincoln for the state capital of Nebraska was chosen by the state legislature, to honor the late President Abraham Lincoln. A commission set up in 1867 chose the village of Lancaster to be the site of a newly-built capital city in the Nebraska Territory.
The name Lincoln was originally an attempt to keep the state capital in Omaha, playing on the fact that many in southern Nebraska had sympathized with the Confederacy.
