| Publisher Description: Consistently ranked as one of the top 10 cities in America to raise a family and own a business, Des Moines began as a frontier fort and pioneer village. It soon became a center for government, commerce, finance, and insurance. The community has gone through many transformations over the years but still retains the character and quality that makes it an example to the nation. |
