Des Moines

Des Moines är huvudstad i delstaten Iowa i USA. Staden grundades 1843 och inkorporerades 1851, den hette från början Fort Des Moines. Stadens borgmästare är Frank Cownie. Des Moines har en yta av 200,1 km² och cirka 196 000 invånare (2003). I storstadsområdet (metro area) bor 556 230 personer (uppskattad siffra för 2008). Staden ligger i Polk County i södra Iowa. Den ligger vid två floder, Des Moines River och Raccoon River. Dessa två floder försörjer staden med vatten. Från början var Iowa City huvudstad i Iowa. Des Moines kallas för USA:s försäkringshuvudstad, eftersom den har fler försäkringsbolag än någon annan stad i USA. Historia Des Moines grundades i maj 1843 när kapten James Allen byggde en fästning på platsen där de två floderna möts. Allen ville kalla fästningen för Fort Raccoon, men det amerikanska krigsdepartementet bestämde att det skulle kallas Fort Des Moines. Staden är döpt efter Des Moines-floden, som i sin tur har fått sitt namn från Franskans Rivière des Moines, bokstavligen "Munkarnas flod." Nybyggare byggde upp ett litet samhälle runt fästningen, och den 22 september 1851 fick bebyggelsen stadsrättigheter. 1857 kortades namnet ner till Des Moines och staden blev utnämnd till huvudstad i Iowa. Geografi Enligt United States Census Bureau har staden en yta av 200,1 km². 196,3 km² är landyta och 3,8 km² är vattenyta. Totala andelen vattenytor uppgår till 1,88 %. Övrigt I Des Moines finns det en 5,6 kilometer lång gångväg i luften, som tillåter folk att ta sig mellan byggnader utan att behöva gå utomhus. Från Des Moines kommer numetal-bandet Slipknot.

The Stevensons bought the property in 1889 from the Vermont Syndicate, who developed Kingman Place.

Home of Marshall's Horseradish

The Home of Marshall's Horseradish, also known as the Marshall House, Stish House, and Marshall's Horseradish Farm, is a historic building located in Des Moines, Iowa, United States. The historic designation is made up of three resources: the two-story frame Queen Anne house, the garage, and the remains of the root cellar. They call attention to food processing for local consumption during the late 19th and early 20th-centuries. Marshall's is said to have been established as a business in 1872, and they cultivated, manufactured, and marketed horseradish condiments. The single-family house was completed in 1886. The property includes four residential lots and at one time was also the location of a small manufacturing facility (nonextant). At one time the family owned 160 acres (65 ha) around 2nd Place. While it is possible that some of that land was used to grow the horseradish, the exact location of their fields is not known for sure and the four residential lots are not large enough. The business came to an end in 1941, and the family sold the property to the city of Des Moines who built a greenhouse on the property. George Daysons, the city florist, and his wife lived in the house. The house, garage, and root cellar were listed together on the National Register of Historic Places in 1998. References
