  • Michigan Supplement
    Michigan Supplement Created for free use in the public domain American Philatelic Society ©2015 www.stamps.org Michigan Supplement Page – 1 Michigan Supplement The state of Michigan is located in northern portion of midwest United States. It is the only state that consists of two peninsulas. The Upper Peninsula — often referred to as “the U.P.” — is separated from the lower, main peninsula, by the Straits of Mackinac. Michigan is bordered by four and the five Great Lakes, plus Lake Saint Clair, giving it the longest freshwater coastline in the world. The state also has more than 64,000 inland lakes and ponds. The state was first settled by the Native Americans. It became a part of New France when it was settled by the French in the 17th century. It came under British rule in 1763, but was ceded to the United States in 1783. The area became a part of the Northwest Territory and later a part of the Indiana Territory with the Territory of Michigan being created in 1805. Michigan became a state on January 26, 1837 — the 26th state to join the Union. The Upper Peninsula, with its natural resources, has become a tourist attraction. The headquarters for three of United States’ major automobile manufacturers are located in Detroit, on the Lower Peninsula. Scott 3079 • 1996 Prehistoric Animals Mastodon The magnificent, giant mastodon lived all over Michigan up to about 10,000 years ago. One of the most complete skeletons was uncovered near of Owosso, Michigan. In November, 2014, as two men were digging a pond, they uncovered 42 mastodon bones in a backyard located in Bellevue Township, Michigan.
