Michigan was the 26th state, admitted into the Union in 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 the state flower,
the robin is the state bird and Lansing is the capital.
