About Minnesota...
Minnesota is a state in the Midwestern region of the United States. The twelfth largest state area in the U.S., this is the twenty-first most populous, with just over five million inhabitants. Minnesota was carved from the eastern half of Minnesota Territory and admitted to the Union as the thirty-second state on May 11, 1858. Known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes," states the name comes from the Dakota word for "sky-tinted water." They lead, along with forests, parks and wilderness areas, offer residents and tourists a variety of outdoor recreational opportunities.
Nearly sixty percent of Minnesota residents live in the Saint Paul-Minneapolis metropolitan area known as the Twin Cities, the center of transportation, business and industry, home and internationally known arts community. The rest consists of the Western prairies now given to more intensive agriculture, eastern deciduous forests, also heavily farmed and settled, and the less populated North Woods. The vast majority of residents are Nordic or German origin, ethnic diversity, but has increased in recent decades. Substantial influxes of African, Asian and Latin American immigrants have joined the descendants of European immigrants and the original Native American inhabitants.
The State is known for its moderate to progressive politics and social policy, civic engagement, and high voter turnout. Minnesota is among the healthiest states and has a well-educated and literate population.
