About Papillion, Nebraska:
The City of Papillion (French, for the word butterfly) has been rich in its existence since it was founded in 1870. Legend has it that Frenchmen visited the broad valley where Papillion is now located, finding it overgrown with luxuriant grasses and multitudes of wild flowers. Swarms of butterflies flitted about in the sunlight and enthralled by the beautiful sight, the explorer exclaimed, "Papillion!"
Papillion has a rapidly growing economy that provides a solid platform for businesses. Papillion proudly boasts of business and technology parks in public ownership, many new and long-standing private businesses and a housing stock incomparable to other communities in the area. Retail businesses find Papillion a growing community with great customer potential and find the location next to metropolitan Omaha to be a geographic benefit.
Local employees have a midwestern work ethic and the business community capitalizes on ample supplies and resources within the area to effectively mange their operations. As one of Nebraska's fastest growing communities, Papillion is quickly becoming the center of growth for the area's burgeoning residential development and commercial sectors.

In addition, the Market Pointe development will bring in over 500,000 square feet of retail space at 72nd Street and Giles Road in late 2006.
