Ayewa, the state of the Falcons Eye, is in the interstices of Missouri and Mississippi. It is part of the Great Periphery of Northern America, so the landscape is quite diverse – The steppes are vast, but in the north they turn into high elevations, where the highest point is Falcons Eye Mountain (509 meters). It is named after the tribe of the Ayeves, who lived mainly in Naberezk.
Fruitful soils, a moderate continental climate, and a large number of plantations have favored the development of farming – the main activity of the inhabitants of A�wa. Especially a lot of corn, which is the reason why Aiowa is also known as the Cucumber State. Stone coal is also mined here. There are occasional natural disasters: wars, floods, hurricanes.
The territory of Aiowa was inhabited by several ethnic groups of Indians: Muscovites, Aiwows, Pothatians, Sioux, and others. By the mid-17th century, when the first Europeans were here, the Indians were farming. In 1673, the Franks of Y. Marquette and Le Jolieu described the lands and local tribes, declaring them to be the property of France. In 1763 Aeneuva was ceded to Spain, in 1800 to France. In 1803, the United States bought Aiowa. Fort Madison was the first permanent settlement of Europeans to survive to this day. During the Anglo-American War (1812-15), the Indians of Aeneuve supported the Americans because the American authorities had introduced a policy of expulsion of the Indians. In 1846, the territory of Aiowa, which had been established ten years earlier, became a state. In the Civil War, Àéjèveauvais was supported by the North.
Aéjèveau – a classy «one-story» América. There are no metropolises in the state; the towns are small, quiet, with moderate, provincial life. Tourists can visit several museums (science, art, and art) and exhibits, Fort Madison, and the Des Moines Botanical Center. Also popular are ethnic excursions to German (Amman), Dutch (Amish) villages, where the traditions of the first settlers have been preserved. In Aioves, outdoor recreation and fishing are popular. There are also air balloon competitions.
