Viviendo en Haines Park-Owl's Head Estates

Historia

-

The neighborhood of Owl’s Head Estates-Haines Park is small and residential, and its history ties into the rest of the city as a whole. Des Moines, Iowa's largest city, serves as the state capital and seat of Polk County. The city originated with the establishment of Fort Des Moines in the mid-1800s. Settlers arrived to the area soon after and the town was incorporated in 1851. Mining provided early industry, but the city has since become a major hub in the insurance industry. Its distinction as a capital city provides residents many opportunities to enjoy live theater productions at the Des Moines Civic Center and art exhibits at the Des Moines Art Center. Des Moines also hosts the annual Iowa State Fair. In a big agricultural state like Iowa, residents never experience disappointment at the variety of produce available here nor the music and entertainment options the fair provides.
