Humans first came to Minnesota during the last ice age, following herds of a large game as glaciers melted. Long before the first Europeans arrived, Indians from as far away as 1,000 miles came to make ceremonial pipes from soft red pipestone carved from sacred quarries.
Minnesota became the 32nd state of the union on May 11, 1858. A small extension of the northern boundary makes it the most northerly of the 48 conterminous U.S. states.
The first state flag, adopted in 1893 and designed by Mrs. Edward H. Center, had on the obverse side a white field bearing the seal, the name of the state, and 19 gold stars symbolizing Minnesota as the 19th state to follow the original 13; the reverse of the flag was plain blue.
The state seal is also surrounded by a wreath of lady slipper, the state flower. The state seal on the Minnesota Flag portrays a farmer plowing his field, which is a symbol for the state's agriculture. The Native American on a horse represents the state's heritage. The water stands for St.
The water is representative of St. Anthony Falls and the Mississippi River, which symbolize transportation and commerce. Around the central picture is a red ribbon entwined within the branches of the state flower, the lady slipper. The ribbon shows three important dates of the state and has the state motto written on it: 'L'Etoile du Nord', meaning 'Star of the North'. 1818 was the year Fort Snelling was established as an outpost, 1858 was the year Minnesota was admitted to the United States and 1893 was the year the flag was officially adopted.
Also remaining in the seal are representations of St. Anthony Falls, a setting sun, and a border of lady’s slipper flowers together with the dates of the first European settlement in Minnesota (1819), its admission to statehood (1858), and the adoption of the first state flag. The state motto, “L’Étoile du Nord†(“Star of the northâ€), is shown on a red ribbon. (Prior to the admission of Alaska to the union, Minnesota was the northernmost state.) The Flag Company Inc specialized in flag designs offered a special edition of decals and flags to memorize the history of Minnesota for the future.
