In which U.S. state is Warren Buffett's hometown Omaha located?

Warren Buffett’s hometown Omaha is located in Nebraska.

Omaha is Nebraska’s largest city and sits on the Missouri River along the state’s eastern border, opposite Council Bluffs, Iowa. Buffett was born there on August 30, 1930, and the city remained central to his identity even after Berkshire Hathaway became a global conglomerate. His continued association with Omaha helped produce the nickname “Oracle of Omaha.”

A common mix-up comes from Omaha’s location near Iowa. The city is directly across the Missouri River from Council Bluffs, but Omaha itself is in Nebraska. Kansas and South Dakota are neighboring states in the broader region, not Omaha’s home state.

Omaha also hosts Berkshire Hathaway’s annual shareholder meeting, which draws investors from around the world and has been nicknamed the “Woodstock of Capitalism.”
