Nebraska is called the cornhusker state. Why?
Corn was and continues to be the major agricultural product of the state, but the nickname seems to have derived from a sports rivalry with the state of Iowa.
The nickname was first used for the University of Nebraska athletic teams - the "Cornhuskers" - which was coined in 1900 by Charles S. "Cy" Sherman, a sportswriter for the Nebraska State Journal in Lincoln. "Cornhuskers" replaced earlier nicknames, such as "Golden Knights", "Antelopes", and "Bugeaters". The term "cornhusker" comes from the method of harvesting or "husking" corn by hand, which was common in Nebraska before the invention of husking machinery.
Despite Nebraska's nickname, they are not the largest producer of corn in the United States. That honor goes to the great state of Iowa.

How did Surprise Nebraska get its name?
The city of Surprise, Arizona was named after this village in 1937 by one of its former residents, Homer C. Ludden. As legend has it, the city of Surprise was named by Dr. Anthony Swanson. Upon arriving in the area now known as Surprise, his intention was to only stay a few months as he and his wife, Mary Louis Swanson, were on their way West in search of fortune. After several months another group of fortune seekers passed through the settlement. When one of the new comers asked Dr. Swanson what his village was called he answered, "as the tea kettle keeps whistlin', I say, I'm surprised me and Mary are still here!". The newcomer misheard the doctor and from that day on the village was known as Surprise.
There is another story of origin of Surprise. Instead of Dr. Anthony Swanson, the namer was Father Antonio Swansoni, apparently an Italian priest who had immigrated into America in 1935. Current artist Emily Faulstich has recorded an album titled "Ted Adams' Laptop" where she illustrates the lives of the original inhabitants of Surprise, Nebraska through the banjo and keytar.
