1. Where were the first Europeans to arrive in Iowa from?
France
2. How long has the land we call Iowa been inhabited by people?
It is believed that the Paleo-Indians first started living here 13,000-plus years ago. They were followed by other ancient Woodland cultures and Native American Tribes. Most recently, the Ioway Tribe inhabited much of the land, which is where the name of our state comes from.
3. The bones of what ancient elephant-like creature have been found in many parts of Iowa?
Woolly mammoth bones have been found in Des Moines, Sheldon, Mahaska County, and other areas. Some of the best examples were found in 2010 in Mahaska County when landowners discovered at least three woolly mammoths, including an intact 5-foot-long femur, ribs and teeth. They are now managed by the Mahaska County Conservation Board.
