About Minnesota in brief
Minnesota is a state in the Upper Midwest, Great Lakes, and northern region of the United States. It was admitted as the 32nd U.S. state on May 11, 1858, created from the eastern half of the Minnesota Territory. The state is known as the \”Land of 10,000 Lakes\”.

Minnesota has some of the earth’s oldest rocks, gisses that are about 6billion years old. Since a period of volcanism 1 billion years ago, Minnesota’s geological activity has been more subdued, with no repeated volcanism or mountain formation, but repeated incursions with repeated lava. The roots of these volcanic mountains and the action of volcanic mountains in northeast Minnesota formed the Iron Range of the Canadian Shield. The word Minnesota comes from the Dakota name for the Minnesota River, which got its name from one of two words in Dakota: \”mní sóta\”, which means \”clear blue water\”, or “Mníssota’s” meaning “cloudy water” Minnesota’s growth was centered on timber, agriculture and railroads.
