The eastern part of the Upper Peninsula as well as the large Lower Peninsula are lowland. Here, sedimentary rocks dominate and the most common soil is moraine clay.

The average annual rainfall is about 800 mm.

The largest of these is Detroit – Warren – Dearborn with 4.3 million residents. Then follows Grand Rapids - Wyoming ($ 1 million). Both are located in the heavily industrialized southern part of the Lower Peninsula.

Business

The former forest and agricultural state was developed during the 20th century into one of America's foremost industrial states. The forest industry has no major significance nowadays. However, agriculture is still important in the southern and southwestern parts. Michigan has significant mineral resources, though the previously significant iron ore mining in the Upper Peninsula has decreased in importance.

Manufacturing of cars and related products dominates the versatile industry. However, Michigan has been affected by the problems the country's auto industry has had since the 1970s. In Detroit, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler have their headquarters and some manufacturing units. Such are also found in Flint and Lansing, however, cuts in the industry have hit cities hard.

Michigan falls within the scope of the robust cuisine that rules most of the interior of the United States, but the inclusion of Eastern European settlers as well as abundant access to fish, berries, fruits and game has given the kitchen its own mark. Sorrel soup, followed by the main course smoked carp and blueberry or cherry pie for dessert, might as well be a meal served in Poland or Hungary. Pickled smelt is incorporated in Norwegian, also in Eastern European or Scandinavian spirit.

Soup with white beans is traditional everyday food as well as root vegetables in gratin for steaks of pork. Roasted wild duck, trout or deer sting are on the party menu.

History

Michigan was penetrated by French fur hunters and missionaries in the 17th century, and the first settlement was founded in 1668. In 1763, Britain gained control of the area, which in 1783 was in the United States and in 1787 became part of the Northwest Territory, 1805 its own territory, and 1837 the state. The completion of the Erie Canal in 1825 contributed to rapid economic development with agriculture, timber and mines as important industries. During the 20th century, Michigan (especially Detroit) developed into the center of the United States automotive industry. Politically, Michigan has been a typical bipartisan state, with Democrats and Republicans shifting in power.
