About Minnesota
The state of Minnesota officially has more than 11,000 lakes and is partly located on the large Lake Superior and borders Canada. Much of the area of today’s Minnesota was owned by the French and sold during the Louisiana deal in 1803 to eventually become America’s 32nd state. Voyageurs National Park is a protected area of four lakes along the Canadian and US borders. Northern Minnesota is made up of endless forests, making forestry one of the state’s most important industries. The twin cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul are home to more than 3.6 million residents, more than 3/4 of the state. In Bloomington, a suburb of Minnesota, is Mall of America, the largest Mall in America with even a roller coaster in the middle of the mall.
