密西根成为美国的一州
1837年1月26日
在1835年，密西根颁布了该地的第一部宪法，但是州的地位一直延迟到1837年才得到确立。延迟的原因是因为该地区当时和俄亥俄州发生了领土争议，而引发「拖雷多之战」 (Toledo
War) 。这项争议在密西根放弃其对俄亥俄州拖雷多市的毛弥河 (Maumee
River) 入口之权力而告退出。
In 1835, the Michigan territory enacted its first constitution, but statehood was delayed until 1837. The reason for the delay was because the territory was involved in what was known as the Toledo War, a boundary dispute with Ohio. The dispute was settled when Michigan gave up its claim to the mouth of the Maumee River at Toledo, Ohio.
