USA - United States - Michigan
Michigan pronounced is a
Midwestern state of the United States, located in the east north central portion
of the country. It was named after Lake Michigan, whose name was a French
adaptation of the Ojibwe term mishigami, meaning "large water" or "large lake".
Bounded by four of the five Great Lakes, plus Lake Saint Clair, Michigan
has the longest freshwater shoreline in the United States, the ninth longest
total shoreline (including island shorelines),[4] and in 2005 had more
registered recreational boats than any state except California and Florida. A
person in Michigan is never more than 85 miles (137 km) from open Great
Lakes water and is never more than 6 miles (10 km) from a natural water source.
Michigan is the only bi-peninsular state. The Lower Peninsula of
Michigan, to which the name Michigan was originally applied, is
sometimes dubbed "the mitten," 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 (U.P.) is separated
from the Lower Peninsula by the Straits of Mackinac, a five-mile channel that
joins Lake Huron to Lake Michigan. The Upper Peninsula (whose residents
are often called "Yoopers") is economically important for tourism and its
natural resources. More ....
