Des Moines, IA Professional Surveyors

Land surveying is one of the world's oldest professions, dating back to the ancient civilizations in Egypt and Babylonia. The goal of land surveying is to accurately map land and territories, especially property lines. If you have property and are trying to determine where it ends, you need to hire a local Des Moines, IA land surveyor.

The first settlers of the state of Oklahoma, the "Boomer Sooners," were also land surveyors, except they ended up in the history books.

After white Americans ran out of room on the East Coast, they pushed westward to claim land. Of course, Native Americans already lived on the land, with its lakes and hills and plains.

On April 22, 1889, the Land Run of 1889 began. It was a major land run for settlers held on the hour that certain territories were opened to settlement. Usually, land was allocated to settlers on a first come, first served basis. (These territories became “open” because the government had taken back the land they had "given" the Native American tribes after the Trail of Tears).

Settlers who broke the land run rules by crossing into Oklahoma territory before it was allowed were said to have been crossing the border “sooner,” leading to the term “Sooners,” the official nickname for Oklahoma residents.
