Bellevue: Offutt, Strategic Command, and the Oldest Settlement
Bellevue predates Nebraska statehood by several decades. Fur traders established a post along the Missouri River bluffs around 1822, and the site served as headquarters for the Upper Missouri Indian Agency from the 1830s onward. That history makes Bellevue the oldest continuously inhabited community in Nebraska, though its modern growth has come from defense rather than commerce or agriculture.
Offutt Air Force Base sits on the southern edge of the city and hosts United States Strategic Command, the unified combatant command responsible for the nation's nuclear arsenal, global strike missions, and space operations. The underground command center beneath Offutt was where President George W. Bush was flown on September 11, 2001. The base employs thousands of military and civilian personnel and shapes the economy of the entire southern Omaha metro.
Residential growth in Bellevue has pushed the city's population past 55,000, making it Nebraska's third largest after Omaha and Lincoln. Much of that growth came after World War II as Offutt expanded its mission, and the commercial corridors along Kennedy Freeway and Cornhusker Road reflect the suburban scale of postwar construction. The Fontenelle Forest nature reserve along the river contains 2,000 acres of floodplain hardwood forest and remnant prairie.
