| | Michigan was the twenty-sixth state to enter into the union, on Jan. 26, 1837. It borders four of the five [[Great Lakes]], all except [[Lake Ontario]]. Michigan comprises two parts connected by a bridge, the [[conservative]] Upper Peninsula (known as the U.P., with its residents known as "Yoopers") and the Lower Peninsula (which is by far the larger of the two). Michigan's capital is [[Lansing]], and its largest city is [[Detroit]].
