Michigan State Flag

Brief History. Indian tribes were living in the Michigan region when the first European, Étienne Brulé of France, arrived in 1618. First permanent settlement was established in 1668, but France was soon ousted from the territory by Great Britain in 1763. After the Revolutionary War, the U.S. acquired most of the region. Today, Michigan's points of interest are the automobile plants in Dearborn, Detroit, Flint, Lansing, and Pontiac; Mackinac Island; Pictured Rocks and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshores; Greenfield Village in Dearborn; and the many summer resorts along both the inland lakes and Great Lakes.
