About Iowa
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 Trapper´s Bay State Park protect nature and offer plenty of opportunities for relaxation in combination with an exciting nature.
