On Tuesday, January 26th, Michigan celebrated it's 173rd anniversary of being admitted into the Union. The 26th State, admitted in 1837, its population grew to the size required for Statehood largely because of the opening of the Erie Canal, which made Great Lakes travel more accomodating.
We have the third most registered boats in America and more lighthouses than any other state. Our residents (Michiganians or Michiganders, if you like) can show you where they are by pointing with their left index finger to spots on their upright right hand. If you practice, you can also mimic both of Michigan's peninsulas by using both hands.
Do you have a fun fact about Michigan? Make a comment.
