== History ==
The Union Stock Yards Company gave Armour $600,000 in land and approximately $750,000 in stock in the Omaha Stockyards to build a packing house. This deal raised the ire of stockholders in the stockyards company, as well as competitors in the meat packing industry.〔(November 27, 1897) ("Omaha's Armour Plant" ), ''New York Times.'' Retrieved 8/27/10.〕
The contractors selected to build the plant were Rocheford & Gould, and the first brick was laid on 17 November 1897.
There were a number of large riots and civil unrest that originated or included events at the Armour Packing Plant.〔Nebraska Bureau of Labor and Industrial Statistics. (1894) ''Biennial report of the Bureau of Labor and Industrial Statistics of Nebraska.'' p 463.〕
