Pella Chamber of Commerce / Convention & Visitors Bureau - A strong community flavor has developed from Pella's rich heritage, which resulted from the blending of two cultures. Covered wagon pioneers whose ancestors had come to America from Scotland and England were the first to arrive in 1843. Four years later, a group of 800 Hollanders under the leadership of Dominie Hendrik Peter Scholte, began arriving with the hope of finding freedom to worship and educate their children as they wished, as well as new economic opportunities. Together the two cultures built Pella, "The City of Refuge."

Bird Checklists - Bird Checklists of the United States. For years, people and groups have developed listings or checklists of birds that occur in a particular region. Information on the distribution or seasonal occurrence of birds in an area, however, can change over time. Bird checklists often are outdated in only a few years after printing, but budget and time constraints prohibit regular updates. The Internet provides new opportunities for the compilation and dissemination of current information on bird distribution. Here we offer bird checklists developed by others that indicate the seasonal occurrence of birds in state, federal, and private management areas, nature preserves, and other areas of special interest in the United States.
