History

Papillion was founded in 1870 and the county seat was moved there from Bellevue a few years later due to its location in the center of Sarpy County and its location on the main line of the Union Pacific Railroad, where its depot was the first stop by trains leaving Omaha for points west.


The city was named for the French word papillon meaning butterfly, when early explorers found large numbers of the insects resting on the muddy banks of the small creek which flows through the city on its way to the bottom lands where the Missouri and Platte Rivers meet. The school sports symbol (Monarchs) for many years was the Monarch Butterfly, but starting in the 1960s, the butterfly symbol was dropped in favor of a "King", but retaining the word "Monarch". A second high school was developed in the southern part of the city which bears the name "Titans," the two schools share a healthy rivalry.

The city itself prides itself on its vast array of recreational areas. Halleck Park is a 4x5 block park in the heart of Papillion. The park includes many trails, open spaces, trees and a number of areas of interest next to it including: Papio Fun Park, Papio Bay Aquatic Park, Papio Pool, and Papio Bowl. In addition to trails, trees and much green space, inside the park there are tennis courts, volleyball courts, playgrounds, "The Duck Pond", Monarch Field ("The Pit"), and E.A. Fricke Field. There are also nine other baseball diamonds within the park for youth. The baseball diamonds are spread across three fields: Halleck, Blonde, and Papio Bay. City Park, Papio Bay Aquatic Center (including two water slides and a zero depth pool) and Walnut Creek recreational park round out just a few of the many parks and recreational interest points of the city.
