About Iowa
Iowa is the 29th state of the United States, having joined the union on December 28, 1846. The official name of the state is "State of Iowa", and the U.S. Post Office abbreviation for the state is IA.

The state is named for the Native American Iowa people.


















History of Iowa
Highlights:

French explorers Louis Joliet and Jacques Marquette are believed to be the first Europeans to visit Iowa. They described Iowa as lush, green, and fertile.

Iowa has been home to approximately 17 different tribes. Today, only the Mesquaki tribe is left in Iowa and live in Tama County.

The first white settlers officially moved to Iowa in June 1833. They primarily came as families from Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana, Kentucky, and Virginia.

Iowa became the 29th state in the union on December 28, 1846.

The Chicago and Northwestern railroad reached Council Bluffs in 1867. Council Bluffs was designated the eastern terminus for the Union Pacific railroad. The completion of five major railroads across Iowa brough major economic changes as well as travel opportunities.

During the American Civil War, more than 75,000 Iowans participated in the war, 13,001 of whom died. No fighting reached Iowa soil.

The Iowa General Assembly passed a women's suffrage amendment in 1870.

Iowa saw a large increase in farming of beef, corn, and pork during World War I, but farmers saw economic hardships after the war. These hardships were the result of the removal of war-time farm subsidies. Total recovery didn't happen until the 1940s.

Iowa had been a large supporter of alcohol prohibition.

Although Iowa's primary industry is agriculture, it also produces refrigerators, washing machines, fountain pens, farm implements, and food products that are shipped around the world.
