About the City of  Des Moines Iowa

Here is a short description of the Iowa city of Des Moines. Des Moines is the capital city of Iowa. The gold-domed Iowa State Capitol building is among the 19th- and early-20th-century landmarks of the East Village area. The Des Moines Art Center is noted for its contemporary collections and Pappajohn Sculpture Park. Local produce and live music are draws at the Downtown Farmers' Market. The Greater Des Moines Botanical Garden has outdoor plant displays and a geodesic dome. ― Google

A small part of the city extends into Warren County. It was incorporated on September 22, 1851, as Fort Des Moines, which was shortened to "Des Moines" in 1857. It is located on, and named after, the Des Moines River, which likely was adapted from the early French name, Rivière des Moines, meaning "River of the Monks". The city's population was 214,237 as of the 2019 population estimate.  Wikipedia

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. Other major corporations have large operations in or near the metropolitan area, such as:

• Wells Fargo

Is Des Moines Iowa a good place to live?

Des Moines is completely different to where i originally came from: New York, Bronx! I'm about to hit 5 years here on August 4th, and I've gone through a lot of things here both good and bad. When it comes to wanting a life that is much more simple, quieter and a place with an average cost of living then Iowa is actually nice! I like the people here and DUE to the people here I was able to calm down from being the very hostile New Yorker to a very friendly 'Iowan'... it's nice, if I can say so myself. There's quite a lot of grass and country type of ordeals that makes going outside a lot more fun and enjoyable if you like nature as well! Des Moines is also expanding slowly so there's always new stuff that comes! And it is also small enough where they have this thing called the Iowa State Fair, it's pretty dope. Overall, Des Moines is pretty nice - sometimes it's still odd that I actually live here now, but I do, and I will make the best of it like I been doing for the past five years.

Low cost of living! Extremely low unemployment rates! Up and coming city full of festivals and events without the crime rates! Des Moines city planners are fiscally responsible for the most part and seem to invest a lot in beautifying the city. The sculpture park, state historical museum, east village, art center, botanical center, plentiful libraries and miles upon miles of bike and walking paths may not seem that crazy appealing for tourists but they sure make the city much more livable.
