Scriptown
Scriptown was the name of the first subdivision in the history of Omaha, which at the time was located in Nebraska Territory. It was called "Scriptown" because scrip was used as payment, similar to how a company would pay employees when regular money was unavailable. Its original survey placed the location from the Missouri River to North 30th Street, Cuming to Fort Street.〔Nebraska State Historical Society. (1892) ''Transactions and reports of the Nebraska State Historical Society, Volume 4.'' p 260.〕
==About==
The Omaha Land Company, made of businessmen including representatives from the Lone Tree Ferry Company that founded Omaha City, "secured" land around the city of Omaha in late 1854.〔(1898) (Andreas' History of Nebraska ). Retrieved 6/7/07.〕 This was quickly subdivided and lots were quickly distributed to persuade influential legislators who supported Omaha City becoming the territorial capitol.〔Roenfeld, R. (nd) (Sam Bayliss on Broadway ). The Historical Society of Pottawattamie County, Iowa. Retrieved 6/7/07.〕
Colonel Lorin Miller, later mayor of Omaha, surveyed Scriptown in the spring and summer of 1855.〔(nd) (Johnson's History of Nebraska ) p. 284. Retrieved 6/7/07.〕 It was bound by 16th street on the east, 24th on the west and Cuming Street on the south to Fort Street on the north.〔(1898) ''Transactions and reports of the Nebraska State Historical Society'': Volume IV. Lincoln, NE: State Journal Printers.〕
The area was developed quickly, and included a number of prominent homes. Neighborhoods eventually formed from Scriptown included Gifford Park, Kountze Place, Prospect Hill, Saratoga and the Near North Side. These areas were incorporated into the city of Omaha in 1877.〔(nd) (Annexation and growth page ). Retrieved 6/7/07.〕
