Facts about West Des Moines:
Population of West Des Moines: 46403
West Des Moines is a city in Polk County, and partially in Dallas and Warren counties, in the state of Iowa. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 46,403; a special census taken in the spring of 2005 counted 51,744 residents. West Des Moines is the largest of Des Moines' suburbs and the tenth-largest city in Iowa.
In its early days Valley Junction was home to the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad's switching facilities and repair shops due to its location at the junction of several railroad lines. The Rock Island's facilities moved out of Valley Junction and back into Des Moines in 1936. On January 1, 1938, Valley Junction was renamed West Des Moines. Today the original business district of West Des Moines has been preserved as Historic Valley Junction. It features many locally-owned specialty shops and restaurants as well as a weekly farmers' market during the summer months.
