Michigan, upper midwestern state of the United States. It consists of two peninsulas thrusting into the Great Lakes and has borders with Ohio and Indiana (S), Wisconsin (W), and the Canadian province of Ontario (N,E). Area: 58,216 sq mi (150,779 sq km).
Pop. 2010 Census statistics: Michigan is the 8th largest state in the U.S. Our population only dropped -0.4% from 9,955,829 to 9,911,622 residents. Doesn’t exactly sound like the free fall the media would have us believe. The northern Michigan wilds, numerous inland lakes, and some 3,000 mi (4,800 km) of shoreline, combined with a pleasantly cool summer climate, have long attracted vacationers. In the winter Michigan's snow-covered hills bring skiers from all over the Midwest. Places of interest in the state include Greenfield Village, a re-creation of a 19th-century American village, and the Henry Ford Museum , both at Dearborn; Pictured Rocks and Sleeping Bear Dunes national lakeshores; and Isle Royal National Park. Lansing is the capital, and Detroit is the largest city. Other major cities are Grand Rapids, Warren, Troy, Flint and Ann Arbor. Capital: Lansing. Largest city: Detroit. Motto: Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam Circumspice [If You Seek a Pleasant Peninsula, Look about You]. State bird: Robin. State flower: Apple blossom. State tree: White pine. |
