Elkhorn is a western neighborhood of the city of Omaha, Nebraska, United States.

[6] Elkhorn, founded in 1865 by George Crawford and platted in 1867, was an independent municipality until it was annexed by the city of Omaha in 2005.

On January 12, 2007, the Nebraska Supreme Court ruled in favor of Omaha, saying "…we conclude that Elkhorn ceased to exist as a separate municipality on March 24, 2005, the date that Omaha's annexation ordinance became effective.

"[7] The United States Supreme Court denied Elkhorn's request to hear the case on February 22, 2007.

The two municipalities went to court as Elkhorn attempted to block the forcible annexation by Omaha.

It was not until after losing the first round in the courts that Elkhorn offered to reach an agreement with Omaha.
