The Best Des Moines?

Some folks say, “West Des Moines is the Best Des Moines.” And we agree (until we open a Des Moines location then we’ll need to edit this in a hurry). Due to the decline in the railroad industry in 1938, (the Great Depression can go pound sand), the city of Valley Junction adopted the name West Des Moines. Community leaders were convinced that a new name would help spur progress and give the city a suburban image—and did it ever!
