Boys Town

Small town in east-central Nebraska, 13 km/8 mi west of Omaha; population (1990) 800. It was founded in 1917 as a community for troubled and homeless boys by Father Edward J Flanagan, and incorporated in 1936. It is now (since 1979) a coeducational, Catholic-run nonsectarian community, governed by the resident young people.

Boys Town has several branches throughout the USA and is largely supported by private charitable contributions.
