Minnesota Custom License Plates and Frames

Minnesota is a U.S. state located in the Midwestern United States. Minnesota was carved out of
the eastern half of the Minnesota Territory and admitted to the Union as the thirty-second state on May 11,
1858. Known as the "Land of 10,000 Lakes", the state's name comes from a Dakota word for "sky-tinted water".
Those waters, together with forests, parks, and wilderness areas, offer residents and tourists a variety of
outdoor recreational opportunities.
Minnesota is the 12th most
extensive and the 21st most populous of the 50 United States. Nearly 60% of Minnesota's residents live in the
Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area known as the "Twin Cities", the center of transportation, business,
industry and education, and home to an internationally known arts community. The remainder of the state consists
of western prairies now given over to intensive agriculture; deciduous forests in the southeast, now cleared,
farmed and settled; and the less populated North Woods, used for mining, forestry, and
recreation.
Minnesota is known for its
relatively mixed social and political orientations, and has a high rate of civic participation and voter
turnout. Minnesota ranks among the healthiest states, and has a highly literate population. The large majority
of residents are of Scandinavian and German descent. The state is known as a center of Scandinavian American
culture. Ethnic diversity has increased in recent decades. Substantial influxes of African, Asian, and Latin
American immigrants have joined the descendants of European immigrants and the original Native American
inhabitants.
