The Ioway Indians and Paleo Indians were the first known inhabitants.
From about 1700 until 1837, but the ancestors of the Ioway lived in the area for nearly 1,000 years.
Technically speaking, the word Iowa does not come from the Ioway language. Iowa possibly comes from the word ayuhwa ("asleep"), however, early European explorers often adopted names of tribes from words which other tribes gave them, not understanding that these differed from what the peoples called themselves. Thus, ayuhwa is not an Ioway word. The word Ioway comes from Dakotan ayuxbe via French aiouez. (The Ioway called themselves Báxoje).
