Iowa was admitted into the United States on December 28th, 1846 where the state capitol today resides in Des Moines.

The official Iowa motto is “Our liberties we prize, and our rights we will maintain.” This motto was adopted in 1847 and is based on a speech given by Iowa Territorial Governor Robert Lucas in 1844. In his speech, Governor Lucas proclaimed that Iowa citizens should protect their liberties and rights at all costs. The motto serves as a reminder to Iowans of the importance of protecting the freedoms and rights that are so often taken for granted.
