Minnesota, admitted to the Union in 1858, is described as the heartland with Mississippi Red River of the North and St Louis river systems. The Sioux meaning for Minnesota is turbid or cloudy water, while rivers and 10,000 lakes aided early European exploration led by French fur traders and Hennepin. Fort Snelling founded near St Anthony Falls, and the state motto Star of the North appears on flag.
