The landscape around Pella is gently rolling farmland, which has shaped both the town’s low-rise form and its agricultural economy. Founded in 1847 by Dutch immigrants led by Hendrik Scholte, Pella retains a pronounced Dutch-American identity in its architecture, independent shops and annual Tulip Time festival. The working Vermeer Mill and the Pella Historical Village interpret that heritage, while nearby Lake Red Rock brings the Des Moines River into the wider setting.
