[3] It is located just north of the Miller Park neighborhood, and just south of Florence and includes all of the area originally known as the Minne Lusa Addition.

According to the Omaha Public Library, "Minne Lusa" comes from a Native American word of unknown origins that means "clear water".

[10] The Hayden House eventually took turns moving from the Viking Ship to Eppley Airfield,[11] and was to the Union Station in downtown Omaha.

[12] The area is home to the former Minne Lusa Theater, a one-screen neighborhood movie house that opened in the mid-1930s along North 30th Street.

The Minne Lusa Pumping Station, demolished by the city in the 1960s, was a massive building of Warrensburg sandstone with a central tower rising four stories over an arched entrance.

[14][15] In July 2015, a reporter for the Omaha World Herald identified the area containing Miller Park as "a thoroughfare for gun violence" after a 12-year-old boy was involved in a deadly shooting there.

[20] Examples include a shooting at the corner of Minne Lusa and Vane that July,[21] and a gunfight that took place in front of the elementary school.

[23] However, "people who live in Minne Lusa say for the most part their neighborhood is a safe and quiet one," and the Omaha Police Department stated that they had not seen a trend of increased vandalism in the area.

[23] Another shooting occurred on August 19, 2021, on the far side of the neighborhood's Miller Park, in which car windows were shot out "near an Omaha public school."
