National Minnesota Day
We began honoring each state in the order they were born in the union, beginning with Hawaii and ending with Hawaii on Independence Day. We've chosen a small piece of each state's past, foods, and the people who make up the state. There's so much more to discover, but we can't help but celebrate our beautiful country even more.
Minnesota became Minnesota on May 11, 1858, making it the 32nd state in the United States, and sharing its northern border with Canada. Minnesota is Minnesota's northernmost state of the continental forty-eight, with Angle Township on the north edge of Lake of the Woods. It extends along the northern shore of Lake Superior and is also known as the Gopher State.
When the first Europeans began to explore and settle the area, Dakota Sioux and Ojibwa, Menominee, and other tribes populated the area. In the late 17th century, fur trading in the densely wooded area resulted in French treaties.
Lake Itasca is the source of a portion of the state's river; the Mississippi River divides a portion of the state; a portion of the state is divided by the Mississippi River. After the Revolutionary War, this natural boundary also divided the area when the Treaty of Paris established the United States' western boundary. Following the Louisana Purchase, Minnesota would not become whole until 1836, when it became part of the Wisconsin Territory, 33 years after the Louisana Purchase.
St. Paul, also known as Pig's Eye Landing, was established in 1838 along the Mississippi River and was dubbed the state capital in 1849..
From Ft. Paul, Minneapolis was just a rober from St. Paul, Minneapolis. Snelling, which was built in 1819, was built in 1819. The metropolis spans both directions of the river for nearly 60 square miles today. Downtown Minneapolis is the world's most complete network of indoor pedestrian paths... The skyway network links restaurants, shopping, shops, hotels, and apartment complexes in eight miles, boasting eight miles connecting restaurants, shopping, banking, hotels, and apartment complexes.
Head north along Lake Superior into the Arrowhead Region, where the air stays cooler longer and the lake effect will have real meaning. The lake effect will have a long run. Mild summers, easy summer nights, Aurora Borealis, and unspoiled views have all enriched Duluth and points north with an industrial history.
