Sheelytown was a historic ethnic neighborhood in South Omaha, Nebraska, USA with populations of Irish, Polish and other first generation immigrants. Located north of the Union Stockyards, it was bounded by Edward Creighton Boulevard on the north, Vinton Street on the south, South 24th Street to the east, and 35th Street to the west.[1][2] Sheelytown was named for the Sheely Brothers Packing Houses that were located in the area. Sheelytown was annexed by Omaha in 1887.[3] The Omaha Quartermaster Depot was built just east of the community across the Union Pacific tracks.
The area, bordered approximately by Ed Creighton Boulevard, Vinton, 24th Street and 35th Streets, got its name from the Sheely Brother Packing House at 27th and Martha, according to World-Herald files.
