About Fort Calhoun
Fort Calhoun is a city in Washington County, Nebraska, United States, located along the Missouri River approximately north of Omaha. The population was 1,108 at the 2020 United States census. The city is notable for its proximity to Fort Atkinson, the first permanent United States military post established west of the Missouri River, which played an important role in early American expansion and relations with Native American nations.
Fort Calhoun developed as an agricultural community following its establishment in the 1850s and has retained its historic character while becoming part of the broader Omaha metropolitan area. The city and surrounding region are closely associated with early 19th-century military history, westward expansion, and settlement along the Missouri River.
