Czech Nebraskans are residents of the state of Nebraska who are of Czech ancestry. As of the 2000 U.S. Census, Czech-Americans living in Nebraska make up 5.5% of the state's population, the largest percentage of any state. 3,295 Nebraskans can speak the Czech language.[1]

Hrbkova has estimated that of the 539,392 Bohemians counted in the 1910 Census, about one eighth lived in Nebraska.[2]

Various fraternal orders, and thirteen Komensky educational clubs were established in Nebraska. The Sokol society had organizations in Crete and in Wilber.[2]

A Czech language newspaper, the Pokrok Západu (Progress of the West), was founded in Omaha in 1871.[3] Other Czech language newspapers in Nebraska included Přítel Lidu (People's Friend),[4] Ozvěna Západu (Echo of the West),[5] and Wilberské Listy.[6]

A state organization for Czech Nebraskans, Nebraska Czechs Inc., was formed in 1963.[7]
