Geography
The state of Michigan occupies an area of 250.7 thousand km 2 (11th place in the USA), 41.3% of this area falls on water. The territory of the state consists of two peninsulas surrounded by the Great Lakes – Lower and Upper, connected by the Mackinac Bridge, as well as many islands.
In the east, Michigan borders on the Canadian province of Ontario and is washed by the waters of Lakes Huron and Erie, in the south it borders on the states of Ohio and Indiana, in the west it borders on Wisconsin and is washed by Lake Michigan, in the north it is washed by Lake Superior and has a water border with the states of Illinois and Minnesota.
The total coastline of the state has a length of 5.2 thousand km (the largest among the continental states). There are more than 11 thousand inland lakes in Michigan, which significantly affects the climate of the state.
History
For several millennia, Indian tribes have lived in Michigan. By the time the Europeans arrived, the Ojibwa (Chippewa), Ottawa, Potawatomi and Wyandot Indian tribes lived here. The first European to visit the Upper Peninsula was Étienne Brule (1622). In 1668, the Jesuit missionary Jacques Marquette founded the first settlement of Sault Ste. Marie here. In 1679, Robert da la Salle built the first European sailing ship on Lake Superior.
In 1701, French officer and explorer Antoine Cadillac founded the settlement of Detroit around Fort Pontchartrain (named after the then French prime minister, Louis Felipot, comte de Pontchartrain).
In the middle of the 18th century, the province passed from the French to the British as a result of the French and Indian War. After the American Revolutionary War, Michigan became part of the Northwest Territory. In 1794, American troops defeated the Indians at the Battle of the Fallen Trees and, under Jay’s treaty, gained control of several forts.
In 1805, the Michigan Territory was created. During the Anglo-American War of 1812-1814, she temporarily fell into the hands of the British. In the 1830s, a massive influx of immigrants began here, associated with the creation of the Erie Canal, road infrastructure, as well as the development of agriculture and the mining industry.
In 1835, the state constitution was signed, but due to a territorial dispute with Ohio, Michigan joined the union only on January 26, 1837. Stevens Mason became the first governor of the state in 1835.
23% of the male population of Michigan (more than 90 thousand people) participated in the Civil War on the side of the northerners, about 14 thousand of them died.
In 1903, assembly line production of cars was founded at the Henry Ford plant. In 1926, General Motors set an industry record with annual sales of $1 billion.
Economy
Michigan, and especially Detroit, is considered the center of the American automotive industry. Important sources of income are also tourism and hunting. In addition, there are minerals – oil, iron ore, natural gas. The state ranks first in peat production.
