The first Europeans to visit the area were the
French explorers Jacques Marquette and Louis Joliet in 1673. The
U.S. obtained control of the area in 1803 as part of the
Louisiana Purchase, and during the first half of the 19th
century, there was heavy fighting between white settlers and
Indians. Lands were taken from the Indians after the Black Hawk
War in 1832 and again in 1836 and 1837.
When Iowa became a state in 1846, its capital was Iowa City; the
more centrally located Des Moines became the new capital in
1857. At that time, the state's present boundaries were also
drawn.
Although Iowa produces a tenth of the nation's food supply, the
value of Iowa's manufactured products is twice that of its
agriculture. Major industries are food and associated products,
non-electrical machinery, electrical equipment, printing and
publishing, and fabricated products.
Iowa stands in a class by itself as an agricultural state. Its
farms sell over $10 billion worth of crops and livestock
annually. Iowa leads the nation in all corn, soybean, and hog
marketings, and comes in third in total livestock sales. Iowa's
forests produce hardwood lumber, particularly walnut, and its
mineral products include cement, limestone, sand, gravel,
gypsum, and coal.
Tourist attractions include the Herbert Hoover birthplace and
library near West Branch; the Amana Colonies; Fort Dodge
Historical Museum, Fort, and Stockade; the Iowa State Fair at
Des Moines in August; and the Effigy Mounds National Monument, a
prehistoric Indian burial site at Marquette. |
