Originally known as Lancaster, Lincoln was renamed in honor of the late president - and became the state capital - when Nebraska was admitted to the United States in 1867. Sports fans know Lincoln as the home of the Nebraska Cornhuskers, the sports teams of the University of Nebraska's main campus. Amtrak's "California Zephyr" makes daily stops in each direction on the long trip between Chicago and Emeryville, California.
