Yes, France owned Iowa as part of the larger territory known as Louisiana, which was acquired from France in the early 19th century. This territory was explored by French explorers in the 17th century and was officially claimed by France. However, in 1803, the United States purchased the Louisiana Territory from France in the Louisiana Purchase, which included present-day Iowa.
