Credit Foncier of America was a late 19th-century financing and real estate company in Omaha, Nebraska. The company existed primarily to promote the townsites along the Union Pacific Railroad,[1] and was incorporated by a special act of the Nebraska Legislature in 1866.[2][3] Credit Foncier was said to be "intimately connected with all the early towns along the Union Pacific."[4]

While related to George Francis Train's Crédit Mobilier company, Credit Foncier was not involved in the Crédit Mobilier scandals that tore that organization apart.[5]
