Twelve years before the city of Omaha was founded, Mormon pioneers built the Weber Mill at the long-time northern end of North 30th Street.

The Florence Park, on North 30th Street, was the town square of Winter Quarters of the Mormon pioneers.

The settlement eventually morphed into the town of Florence, and its main street was located along present-day North 30th.

The removal of the Omaha and Council Bluffs Railway and Bridge Company's streetcar line along the street was required for the project to be completed.
