About Gretna, Nebraska:
Gretna offers a unique blend of small town charm and thriving businesses, all close to major transportation and quiet neighborhoods. It is also a community of rich history. Originally spurred by the expansion of the Burlington Northern Railroad, Gretna was founded in 1886 on 80 acres purchased from the Lincoln Land Company for the sum of $560. Gretna's growth now has been spurred by its location near Interstate 80, near Highway 370 and 6/31.
Located just ten miles outside of Omaha, Gretna is a quiet community of established families and newer residents who’ve been welcomed to the close-knit, suburban community. Many have moved to Gretna for its close proximity to Omaha and Lincoln, its small town atmosphere, and its exceptional school district. Gretna has gained national recognition and a reputation for providing fine educational opportunities. Those opportunities are complimented by honors in academic accreditation, high graduation rates, and a disciplined learning environment. Athletics and the arts are also highly acclaimed statewide, and more importantly, enthusiastically supported by this community.
Within minutes of the city are fabulous recreational opportunities with several large state parks and dam sites, an acclaimed golf course, a Wildlife Safari Park, the Strategic Air & Space Museum and community swimming pools. Business At-A-Glance: As one of the fastest growing communities in Nebraska, Gretna shows no sign of slowing down in the next decade. Many businesses have opened to meet the needs of this expanding community, which is located between Omaha and Lincoln. Businesses such as Pinnacle Sports Network, Nebraska Crossing Factory Outlet, Gretna Public Schools, Kersten Trucking, Lucky D Tack Shop, Pinnacle Bank, and American National Bank are all located in Gretna.
