context_page_description: The neighborhoods of Omaha are a diverse collection of community areas and specific enclaves. They are spread throughout the Omaha metro area, and are all on the Nebraska side of the Missouri River.
context_section_description: Omaha is split into several geographically designated areas, which cover several neighborhoods. Midtown is a racially diverse, historically rich area of Omaha immediately west of Downtown Omaha. North Omaha is a community area north of downtown Omaha with a rich historical, architectural, and religious legacy, particularly for the city's African American population.  South Omaha is a community area encompassing many neighborhoods south of downtown Omaha which historically has been home to Omaha's Eastern European immigrant population, and more recently, Central and North American Hispanic immigrants.  Churches and other structures reflect its rich past.  Formerly a portion of this area was a separate city named South Omaha; it was annexed by Omaha in 1915.  West Omaha is the collective term for areas of the city west of 72nd Street, and the area of newer suburbs and community institutions, the next wave of historically significant buildings.  Within that broad area there are several sub-community areas including Northwest Omaha, Southwest Omaha, Millard and Irvington. Also, much further to the west is the newly annexed community area/past city of Elkhorn.
