Iowa, known as the Hawkeye State, has its name derived from the Ioway people, a Native American tribe that occupied the state in the earlier days. It has been listed as one of the safest states to live in, and is also known to be the largest producer of corn and, in some years, the largest grower of soybeans in the US.
