Des Moines became the capital of Iowa in 1857, largely due to its strategic location in the center of the state, which made it more accessible to residents across Iowa. The city was also chosen for its growing population and economic potential, as it was already developing as a commercial center. Additionally, the decision was influenced by politics, as local leaders sought to promote growth and stability in the region. Des Moines has since evolved into a significant political and economic hub in Iowa.
