Iowa State Overview

State of North America. Explore around 1670, it became French dominion in 1682. Sold to Spain in 1762, it returned in 1800 to France, which shortly after (1803) sold it to the United States. Important settlements were established there only around 1830 and in 1846 it was admitted as a state in the Union. The population is largely rural, but industry has also had a significant boost.

Des Moines is the capital city of Iowa. It is located in central Iowa and is the largest city in the state. Des Moines has a population of more than 218,000 people, making it the most populous city in Iowa. It is known for its vibrant culture and arts scene, with numerous museums and galleries, as well as a variety of performing arts venues. The city also has a lively nightlife, with plenty of restaurants and bars to explore. Des Moines is home to Drake University, Grand View University, Mercy College of Health Sciences, and Simpson College, among other educational institutions. It is also home to several major companies such as Wells Fargo and Principal Financial Group.
