The two RV Gypsies |
 Michigan became the 26th state in the USA
on January 26, 1837. |
| State Capital - Lansing |
|
| State Nickname - Wolverine State |
| Michigan is the eighth most populous state in the USA. |
| A person in Michigan is never more than six miles from a natural water source
or more than 87.2 miles from a Great Lakes shoreline |
 |
| Michigan is the only state to consist entirely of two peninsulas. The Lower
Peninsula, to which the name Michigan was originally applied, is often dubbed
"the mitten" by residents, owing to its shape. When asked where
in Michigan one comes from, a resident of the Lower Peninsula may often
point to the corresponding part of his or her hand. The Upper Peninsula
(often referred to as "The U.P.") is separated from the Lower
Peninsula by the Straits of Mackinac, a five-mile wide channel that joins
Lake Huron to Lake Michigan. The Upper Peninsula is economically important
for tourism and natural resources. |
