Jobbers Canyon Historic District, Historic commercial district in downtown Omaha, Nebraska.
The district contained twenty-four massive brick warehouses and industrial buildings spanning between Farnam Street, Jackson Street, and South Eighth Street.
During the late 1800s, railroad entrepreneurs and merchants constructed multiple six and seven-story buildings, creating 1.7 million square feet of commercial space.
The district represented the growth of Omaha as a transportation gateway, housing warehouses and grocers that supplied merchants throughout the Old West.
In 1989, the entire district was demolished to accommodate the construction of ConAgra's corporate headquarters, leaving only the Nash Block standing.
The demolition of Jobbers Canyon remains the largest single removal of a National Register Historic District in United States history.
