    Minnesota - Wikipedia, the freevisited encyclopedia on 3/1/2016 Page 1 of 15 Coordinates: 46°N 94°W Minnesota From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Minnesota ( i/mɪnᵻˈsoʊtə/; locally [ˌmɪnəˈso̞ ɾə]) is a state in the Midwestern United States. State of Minnesota Minnesota was admitted as the 32nd state on May 11, 1858, created from the eastern half of the Minnesota Territory. The name comes from the Dakota word for "clear blue water".[5] Owing to its large number of lakes, the state is informally known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes". Its official motto is L'Étoile du Nord (French: Star of the North). Minnesota is the 12th largest in area and the 21st most populous of the U.S. States; nearly 60 percent of its residents live in the Minneapolis –Saint Paul metropolitan area (known as the "Twin Cities"), the center of transportation, business, Flag Seal industry, education, and government and home to an internationally known arts community. The Nickname(s): Land of 10,000 Lakes; remainder of the state consists of western prairies now given over to intensive agriculture; North Star State; The Gopher State; The State of deciduous forests in the southeast, now partially cleared, farmed and settled; and the less populated Hockey. North Woods, used for mining, forestry, and recreation. Motto(s): L'Étoile du Nord (French: The Star of the North) Minnesota is known for its idiosyncratic social and political orientations and its high rate of civic participation and voter turnout. Until European settlement, Minnesota was inhabited by the Dakota and Ojibwe/Anishinaabe. The large majority of the original European settlers emigrated from Scandinavia and Germany, and the state remains a center of Scandinavian American and German American culture.

  • From Footpaths to Freeways
    From Footpaths to Freeways A Survey of Roads and Highways in Minnesota By Joel Katz, P.E., PTOE Minnesota Department of Transportation DEDICATION This book is dedicated to the thousands of Minnesotans — past and present — who have been involved in the planning, design, construction, maintenance, and operation of the roads, streets, and highways of Minnesota, , as well as those who have played essential roles in such areas as financing, administration, research, education, and communications. These are the people who have been employed by the federal, state, and local governments; contractors; consultant firms; and educational institutions who have applied their professional and trade experience in developing a transportation system on which our way of life and economic viability has become so greatly dependent. Some of these employees lost their lives while performing construction, maintenance, and enforcement activities. All have worked diligently, loyally, and professionally — especially in emergency situations.

She was president of the Minnesota Woman Suffrage Association when the nineteenth amendment was passed in 1919. That same year, she also became the first president of the Minnesota League of Women’s Voters. As women’s organizations gained momentum around the turn of the twentieth century, Ueland became serious about the suffrage movement. Her interest was piqued by a Minneapolis suffrage convention in 1901. Soon after, Ueland joined two organizations in support of the cause. She even went on to help found the Woman’s Club of Minneapolis, but left in 1912 to focus her energy on women’s voting
