Michigan State Information Guide
Capital: Lansing
January 26, 1837 (26th state)
Michigan became the 26th state on January 26, 1837. Called the "Great Lakes State" because its shores touch four of the five Great Lakes, Michigan gets its name from an Ojibwa (Chippewa) Indian word meaning "large lake." Michigan has an unusual geography, as it consists of two land masses--the sparsely populated Upper Peninsula and the mitten-shaped Lower Peninsula, home to most of the state's residents. Detroit, its largest city, is known worldwide as the center of the American auto industry. The apple blossom is Michigan state flower, the robin is the state bird and Lansing is the capital.
