More information about the video content bellow:
1. The state was named after the Ioway people, a Native American tribe that once inhabited the area. But what “Iowa” really means has long been a subject of debate. One account says it was coined when a tribe of Native Americans spied the land for the first time and proclaimed it “Iowa, Iowa, Iowa,” which meant “beautiful, beautiful, beautiful.” Then there’s the tale that says it’s a variation on the French word “Ayuhwa,” which means “sleepy ones”-something the Dakota Sioux tribe called the Ioway Nation.
2. Iowa and Missouri almost went to war in the 1830s. Thanks to a surveying mistake, Iowa and Missouri were at each other's throats for a few years. When a Missouri tax collector tried to cash in from citizens who lived in the disputed acres, an Iowan sheriff arrested him. The governors of each state threatened each other with combat, with militias and volunteers called to gather at the border. Before any shots were fired, the federal government stepped in and literally drew the line.
3. You've no doubt heard the phrase "the greatest thing since sliced bread"-well, we have Iowa to thank for those precut loaves. Otto Frederick Rohwedder invented a device that would cut bread into consistently-sized slices. Unfortunately, Rohwedder's fantastic invention was destroyed in a fire before it could be unleashed on the world. It took him some time to refine and rebuild, so sliced bread wasn't commercially available until 1928.
4. When it comes to civil rights, Iowa has always been ahead of the curve. Married women received property rights in 1851, and in 1869, the Iowa Supreme Court ruled that women should be allowed to practice law, making Iowan Arabella Mansfield the first female lawyer in the U.S. The state was also way ahead on school desegregation: The Iowa Supreme Court ruled that “separate but equal” schools were unlawful back in 1868, 85 years before Brown v. Board of Education decided the same thing on a federal level in 1954.
5. Des Moines is the capital and the most populous city in the U.S. state of Iowa. The city was credited as the "number one spot for U.S. insurance companies" in a Business Wire article and named the third-largest "insurance capital" of the world. In recent years Microsoft, Hewlett Packard and Facebook have built data processing and logistical facilities in the Des Moines metro.
6. The United States' version of the Nazca Lines are in Iowa. Effigy Mounds, large scale Native American sculptures of animals, humans, and religious figures made out of piles of earth, date as far back as 350 CE.
7. Iowa had only been a state for 15 years when the Civil War started, and had a population of just 600,000. Though the 76,534 Iowan men who served in the Union may seem like small potatoes compared to contributions from other states, no other state had a higher percentage of its male population serve. Iowa even had a regiment called the “Greybeards” because the men were all considered elderly, including one octogenarian.

Iowa means beautiful land... Not sleepy ones. IOWANS ASSEMBLE
Nobody knows what it really means.
Why do you think is such a big deal, im a sleapy one and live in iowa
@@drakeseiser9012 probably because i'm passionate about the state i live in. and, no shit sherlock, we're all tired. i was literally just pointing out that their fact was wrong.
I live in the Louis hills the most beautiful part of the state ha
Well like someone said before Iowa needs critical thinkers who are capable of developing the place
I give Iowa credit for sending many soldiers in the Civil War.
Yup, several of my ancestors had just migrated from Germany & Denmark to Iowa and many of them signed up right away!
Iowa is also where they started jolly time popcorn and blue bunny ice cream
And crackerjacks
One fact about Iowa is there is little to no garbage on the ground anywhere. I've lived in over a dozen states and traveled most of them, and Iowa seems to be the cleanest.
As a wise man once said:
"Just out yonder we got some cornfields, and just out over there we got some cornfields, and just beyond that point right over there we got more cornfields, possibly a windmill."
Nah that ain’t all there’s the beautiful Louis hills
There might also be a bean field
Great video :)
I live in Iowa and my fave cousin lives in Missouri lol friendship is better then war

Wait, the toaster was invented before sliced bread?
Apparently, also I think its interesting that sliced bread was invented in my home state, and later than I expected. I thought it was around for a lot longer than 90 something years

I'm not from us but what is this STATE that I never heard before
Iowa in in the Midwest part of the continental United States. In the heartland as we like to say. The mighty Mississippi River is our eastern border with Wisconsin and Illinois on the other side. The Missouri River is our western border with Nebraska and South Dakota. Minnesota is north of Iowa and Missouri is south of Iowa. Iowa became a state in 1846. Our land varies from flat to hilly to steep ledges. We have all 4 seasons. Our state capital Des Moines is also our largest city. Followed by Cedar Rapids. Iowa has 3 state Universities; UI in Iowa City, UNI in Cedar Falls, and ISU in Ames. There are lots of parks and recreational things to do.
Iowa has lots of farmland (examples are corn, soybeans, hogs, cattle, dairy cows, and chicken). But there are also IT, Insurance, healthcare, Manufacturing, and service jobs. Collins Aerospace (formerly Rockerll Collins), Quaker Oats, General Mills, John Deer are located here. Iowa has the wonderful University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics in Iowa City which is also home to the old state capital. Cost of living is good and for the most part crime is low.
Iowa
I live in iowa, its a farming state with lots of agriculture, 55,835 square miles of farmland make up most of the state. Are capital is Des moines (both of the S are silsnt so you say de moine but its spelt des moines)
