(minnesota is a state in the Midwestern United States)

Minnesota was admitted as the 32nd state on May 11, 1858,

created from the eastern half of the Minnesota Territory.

The state has a large number of lakes, and is known by the slogan “Land of 10,000 Lakes”.

Its official motto is L’Étoile du Nord (French: Star of the North).

Minnesota is the 12th largest in area and the 21st most populous of the U.S. states; nearly 60 percent of its residents live in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul metropolitan area (known as the “Twin Cities”), the center of transportation, business, industry, education, and government and home to an internationally known arts community. The remainder of the state consists of western prairies now given over to intensive agriculture; deciduous forests in the southeast, now partially cleared, farmed and settled; and the less populated North Woods, used for mining, forestry, and recreation.

Minnesota is known for its progressive political orientation and its high rate of civic participation and voter turnout. Until European settlement, Minnesota was inhabited by the Dakota and Ojibwe/Anishinaabe. During the 19th and early 20th Centuries, the large majority of the European settlers emigrated from Scandinavia and Germany, and the state remains a center of Scandinavian American and German American culture.

In recent decades, immigration from 

Asia,

the Horn of Africa,

and Latin America 

has broadened its historic demographic and cultural composition.
