Our friends at Wikipedia describe it this way:
La Vista is a city in Sarpy County, Nebraska, United States. The population was 15,758 at the 2010 census. The city was incorporated on February 23, 1960.
La Vista is a suburb of Omaha. It is bordered by the cities of Omaha and Ralston on the north, Papillion on the south, Bellevue on the east, and Interstate 80 to the west. La Vista is Sarpy County’s third largest city, after Bellevue and Papillion, the county seat.
La Vista, in north central Sarpy County between Papillion and Ralston, was created in 1959 by a developer who planned to build 335 homes. Priced at a modest $9,999 each, it soon became known as “House of Nines.” At the time, the assessed valuation was just over $1,000,000. The first families began moving into their homes in January 1960. La Vista (meaning “the view”) was selected as its name by these “early settlers” because of the beautiful scenic view of the Big Papio Creek basin southeast of the development.
