About Minnesota
Minnesota, known as the Land of 10,000 Lakes, is marked by natural beauty and exciting cities. It is the northernmost state in the contiguous United States, creating cold summers and very warm summers. In its early history, Minnesota was populated by the Dakota People, a subculture of Sioux Native Americans, and Ojibwe peoples who migrated from the Northeast. The first European settlers in Minnesota were 17th-century French fur traders, eventually leading the state to its adoption into the Union in 1858. Whether you’re looking for a rich artistic culture or an outdoor adventure, Minnesota is sure to have something you’ll love.
