Bethany is a neighborhood and former town in the northeast region of the city of Lincoln, Nebraska, United States.

[4] Residents of Bethany Heights relied upon Lincoln for most services, including hospitals, lawyers, doctors, train depots, hotels, dry goods, and even cemeteries.

[4] Due to this reliance, the town voted to be annexed as Bethany by the city of Lincoln in 1922.

[2] Unlike other Lincoln suburbs, such as Havelock, University Place, and College View, very little remains of the original town.

[4] Cotner College was demolished in the early 1950s and the land on which it stood was divided into single-family residential lots.
