Tags: Park.
Jefferson Square was the last of three original public parks extant in Omaha Nebraska. Bounded by North 15th 16th Chicago and Cass Streets the park was dedicated November 25 1865. It was razed by the city March 18 1969 to make way for the construction of Interstate 480 in Downtown Omaha. Before that time it was the site of Omaha’s first school and considered for the location of the first Omaha Public Library and the Omaha Market House.
