==History==
==Arstory==
As recently as 1876, Levi Carter Park was the west bank of the [[Missouri River]]. The next year flooding caused the river to jump its banks and shorten the main stream, with the long meander becoming an [[oxbow lake]]. Residents on both sides of the river now found themselves on the west bank, attached to [[Nebraska]]. Because of this their lake was originally called "Cut-Off Lake."

The name was first changed in the late 1900s to Lake Nicoma for the fabled Omaha wife of early Nebraska settler [[Peter A. Sarpy]]. Around that time the lake was a popular resort area. The surrounding park was home to sailing events, Bungalow City, the Omaha Gun Club<ref>[http://www.rootsweb.com/~usgenweb/ne/douglas/postcards/gunclb.jpg Historical postcard from the Omaha Gun Club]</ref>, and a YMCA Camp as late as the 1930s.<ref>[http://www.ci.omaha.ne.us/parks/parks/levicarterpark.htm Carter Lake Park] City of Omaha Parks, Recreation, and Arts Department.
