Description

Minnesota, upper Midwestern state of the United States. Minnesota is bordered by Lake Superior and Wisconsin (E), Iowa (S), South Dakota, North Dakota (W) and the Canadian provinces of Manitoba and Ontario (N).

Minnesota's name is from the Dakota people's name for the Minnesota River, mini sota, variously translated "smoky-white water" or "sky-tinted water."

Minnesota is the largest state by land area in the Midwestern United States and is in the sub-region known as the Upper Midwest. The most significant metropolitan area is known as the Twin Cities, which contains more than half the state's population. The Twin Cities refer to the state's most populous cities, Minneapolis and the capital of Saint Paul, along with multiple "rings" of suburbs.
