Des Moines, the county seat of Polk County began as an Indian Agency and Army post in I843. In the succeeding 145 years Polk County shed its military origins to become the leading county in Iowa. As the county seat and, beginning in I857, the state capital, Des Moines soon became the center for lowa politics. population, and commerce. Polk County pioneers indeed planted their ?ag on the prairie." So writes author Barbara Beving Long in the introduction to Des Moines and Polk County: Flag on the Prairie. Iowa began as and remains a national focal point. In l843 a treaty with the Sauk and Mesquakie Indians made way for settlement west of the Red Rock Line. Settlers scrambled to stake claims on the fertile rolling prairie. From that point, Iowa experienced tremendous development. A network of roads and rail lines made Des Moines a hub for travel, and a stopping point for pioneers heading west. Rich mineral resources and prime farming acreage continued to draw more settlers to the area: by I9 I 0 Des Moines was the leading insurance center in the country after Hartford, Connecticut. Today Polk County is still alive and growing. Early Polk County returns to life through the historical research of the author. The chapter entitled Partners in Progress." by Denny Rehder, chronicles the development of the organizations and businesses that continue to contribute to the history of Polk County.
