The fertile land soil makes Iowa one of the most
productive states in the United States' corn
belt. Corn, soybeans, cereals and potatoes are
cultivated here in particular. Livestock farming
also plays an important role with pigs, cattle and a
distinctive dairy industry. In addition to the
strong economic dominance of the agricultural sector
in the country of large farms, other branches also
play a role, including mechanical engineering
(including tractors and agricultural machinery),
electronics, the metal industry, chemicals and
printed matter. Almost 90% of the area of this
state is used in some way for agriculture, which
illustrates the focus and not without reason a
second nickname of the state is also Corn State.
The main cities are the capital Des Moines in
the center of the state, as well as Cedar Rapids,
Davenport, Sioux City, Waterloo and Iowa City. Most
regions of the state are rural and small-town. The
people are hospitable, humorous and close to
nature. Hunting and fishing are popular
pastimes. Most are of European descent (over 40% of
them have German ancestors!), But there are also
smaller groups of Hispanics and African-Americans.
Due to the high lineage from Germany, the
proportion of Lutherans among religions is high,
only the Catholics in the state are larger. There
are also Methodists, Baptists and Presbyterians.
Des Moines was only declared the capital in 1857,
before that Iowa City (you can still see the Old
Capitol here ) had this function. The first
Europeans in the state were French, as part
of Louisiana it passed to the United States in 1803
after the Louisiana Purchase. With more and more
settlers from the east and south of the United
States arriving, the United States Congress
established the Iowa Territory in 1838, which became
the 29th state in 1846.

Amana Colonies, Farm Tours and Covered Bridges
The German origins can still be discovered today
in the Amana Colonies. Here in the middle
of the USA you can still find some Americans who can
still speak Amana German (similar to Pennsylvania
Dutch). The Amana Church Society is a free church
and the immigrants from Germany founded seven
self-sufficient communities here near Iowa City on
the river. These have been listed in the National
Historic Landmark of the United States since
1965.
Unlike, for example, the Amish, the followers of
this group are open to technical progress. Today the
group is also known for some technical and
agricultural innovations such as the Amana Orange
Tomato. As is so often the case, the German-born
brewers are also good brewmasters; the Millstream
brewery was founded in these colonies. You can find
out more about the group in the Amana Heritage
Museum.
If you want to learn more about the history of
the state as the center of agriculture, you should visit the Living
History Farms in Urbandale. Here you
can visit old farms or take a look at modern large
farms.
If you are interested in art, you should visit
the Des Moines Art Center in the capital
Des Moines, and the Temple of Performing Arts, the
Des Moines Opera and Symphony are also interesting
from a cultural point of view. In July you should
visit Jazz in July.
The imposing Iowa State Capitol, unlike
the others of its kind in the United States,
has five domes (only Rhode Island has this as well)
and the middle dome is gold-plated. You can learn
more about the history of Iowa and its people at
the State of Iowa Historical Museum. You
should also visit the Botanical Gardens and the Blank
Park Zoo. Well-known museums include the
Wallace House Museum, the Police Museum &
Historical Society and the Fort Des Moines
Museum and Education Center.
Iowa is also known for its romantic, covered
bridges. The Covered Bridges around Winterset
are something special and will remind many of the
film "The Bridges on the River" with Meryl Streep
and Clint Eastwood. Madison County and Winterset
(where John Wayne was born and the Birthplace of
John Wayne complex is dedicated to him ) is
also not far from Des Moines so you can see the
bridges up close.
The Iowa Great Lakes region is
one of the tourist highlights in the state. Numerous
state parks such as the Elinor Bedell State Park,
the Gull Point State Park, the Pikes Point State
Park and the Trapperīs Bay State Park protect nature
and offer plenty of opportunities for relaxation in
combination with an exciting nature. |
