The Story of
Our States
BY JONATHAN BRACE
XXIX.--IOWA
- sTHE State
Mslte,z.-5ssssSM L Of Iowa
M@|Ti5S;; INN was originally
IzisSS le occupied by
II ~ ~ the Iowa In
NV gsYJ dams. The nc
M%Is SesZN tual meaning
~ of the word
has been interpreted in several
ways. Some say 1t means beau
tiful land,' but the more likely
derivation is the Algonquin word
"ajawa" which means across"
or beyond" This was probably
applied TO this tribe OF Indians
by the Illinois tribes who were
hostile to them, and resided on
the eastern side of the AIlssis-
sippi river. The early white Wis
itors to this region included Mar
quette and Joliet, who landed
here on their explorations Of the
Mississippi iu 1878.
The first settlement was made
by French Canadian named
Julian Dubuque He obtained
In 1883 a large grant OF land
from the Indians, where the
city which was named after him
now stands. Here he lJurished,
mining lead and trading with the
Indians, until his death in 1910,
when this settlement was given
up.
With the acquisition of the
Louisiana Purchase in 1908,
Iowa, which was part Of this
