Iowa's Birth
Home » Iowa » History of Iowa » Iowa's BirthIowa’s history goes back many thousands of years and the record books began on this small town when Paleo-Indians inhabited the area around 9,500 B.C. and as they were hunters, they hunted many animals that are extinct today such as mammoths.
There is little known on this era but Iowa was to flourish and around 1870 it became a major factor for railroad transportation like many towns and cities throughout Illinois this rendered the once flourishing river transportation system and whilst it was still used, the railroads were the future.
By this era, Iowa was known as a main stream farming community and to this day, the title still remains with it being a well developed area that provides crops and other essentials throughout the state and possibly beyond.
