Lincoln, Nebraska

Lincoln is the capital and the second-most populous city of the state of Nebraska, after Omaha. Lincoln is also the county seat of Lancaster County and the home of the University of Nebraska. The population was 258,379 at the 2010 census.

Settled in 1856 as the town of Lancaster, made county seat in 1859. The city was chosen as the future state capital of Nebraska in 1867. The state territorial legislature arranged for the city to be named Lincoln, after Abraham Lincoln, in a failed attempt to derail the move due to the pro-Confederate sympathies of many in southern Nebraska.

I don't think that is correct. The pads at the south end of the 10,000 ft runway make a lot more sense. They are larger and they are in the right place for a quick take off to the north. An alert launch from a short runway heading southeast makes no sense to me...
