Des Moines Auto Shipping

Des Moines is a city located in the US State of Iowa, and it also serves as the capital of the entire state. According to the United States Census Bureau, the city is the largest in the state as well as the 112th largest city in the United States. Des Moines is perhaps best known for being the headquarters of both the Meredith Corporation as well as Blue Cross Blue Shield, two major insurance providers in the United States.

Des Moines began as a small fort, as most cities did in the Midwest at the time. The fort grew into a trading post, and the trading post turned into a town, and by 1851 it was incorporated as a city. However, Des Moines is incredibly prone to flooding; in 1993, a devastating flood tore through the city, leaving 250,000 residents without running water for almost three weeks. Today, however, the city council has reinforced the river which it borders, and there has been no major flooding since.

During the summer months, average daily highs in the city reach into the mid 80’s during the day, with typical overnight lows dropping down into the low 60’s. During the winter months, however, average daily highs in Des Moines only reach into the high 30’s during the day while lows often drop well into the low 20’s overnight.
