The city of Papillion was originally developed as a railroad town in the 1870’s and a suburb of nearby bustling Omaha, Nebraska. Papillion was named for a creek flowing through the city center with the same name, which was named by early French explorers during the 18th century. The explorers chose the name Papillon, which means “butterfly” in French, due to the large number of butterflies they saw. Visitors can catch a baseball game at Werner Park and explore the outdoors at the Prairie Queen Recreation Area.
