(PRWEB) May 16, 2005 -- A newly launched Web site, www.iowausa.net, provides facts and information about the state of Iowa. The site contains crucial data about several topics such as history, law and government, geography, economy, demographics and religion.
"The site summarizes what researchers and interested Web surfers might want to know at a glance about the state of Iowa," says Gilbert, the owner of the site.
The site has some interesting historical highlights, including:
*French explorers Louis Joliet and Jacques Marquette are believed to be the first Europeans to visit Iowa. They described Iowa as lush, green and fertile.

Also, although Iowa's primary industry is agriculture, it also produces refrigerators, washing machines, fountain pens, farm implements and food products that are shipped around the world.
