From its birth as interdependent towns on the Missouri River frontier to its emergence as a metropolis straddling two states, OmahaCouncil Bluffs has been one of the great urban construction projects in the nations history. Upstream Metropolis provides the first comprehensive history of this unique urban region that ranks 60th among the 370 major metropolitan areas in the United States. Drawing on local newspapers and historical archives, the authors deliver an anecdoterich account of how and why a large metropolitan area developed in this spot. They also explain why it grew so bigand no biggerbut could never have remained two small towns.Upstream Metropolis is an urban biography of the highest order, tracing the lives of two cities, which though divided by a river, the problems of a state line, and inevitable rivalry, have always been inextricably linked. This discussion moves from the freewheeling frontier days to the times of farming and railroads, examining influences such as the populist movement, the meatpacking industry, immigration, and ethnicity. The highly readable result is a pioneering contribution to the history of urbanization in America.
