Michigan
Michigan is a state in the United States that lies in the Great Lakes and Midwestern regions. It is the only state that consists of two peninsulas, the Upper and the Lower, which are connected by the Mackinac Bridge, one of the world's longest suspension bridges. Michigan has the longest freshwater coastline of any U.S. state, and is bordered by four of the five Great Lakes: Superior, Huron, Michigan, and Erie. The name Michigan comes from an Ojibwe word meaning "large lake". Michigan became the 26th state on January 26, 1837.
