This is the Michigan state category. Michigan's capital city is Lansing, and its postal abbreviation is MI. Michigan entered the Union as the 26th state, on January 26, 1837. It is the 22nd largest state, with an area of 96,705 square miles. Located in north central USA, and bordered by four of the Great Lakes, Michigan's largest city is Detroit. First settled by French traders in the 17th century, the region was ceded to Britain after the Seven Years' War. The British departed in 1796, and Michigan became a U.S. territory nine years later. The opening of the Erie Canal in 1825 furthered the state's growth, but the real industrial boom came with the development of the automotive industry in the early 20th century. Michigan consists of two peninsulas separated by the Straits of Mackinac, which connect Lake Michigan and Lake Huron.
