Des Moines (French for 'City of monks') is the capital and largest city of the U.S. state of Iowa. It was incorporated on September 22, 1851, as Fort Des Moines, until it was shortened to "Des Moines" in 1857.[1] It is also the county seat of Polk County.
Des Moines is the headquarters for the Principal Financial Group, the Meredith Corporation, and Ruan Transportation. The city of Des Moines bills itself as the third-largest insurance center in the world, behind London, United Kingdom, and Hartford, Connecticut. [2] Other major corporations such as Wells Fargo, ING Group, and John Deere have large operations in or near the metro area. Forbes Magazine ranked Des Moines as the 11th "Best Place for Business" in 2006.
Des Moines was founded in May 1843 when Captain James Allen built a fort on the site where the Des Moines and Raccoon Rivers merge. Allen wanted to use the name Fort Raccoon, but the American War Department told him to name it Fort Des Moines. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
