It doesn't matter whether you call it the North Star State, the Land of 10,000 Lakes, the Land of Sky Blue Waters, or if you simply call it home like we do – this great land that we also call MN became the 32nd state to join the good ol' U.S. in 1858 and we couldn't be happier about that little fact. So as a nod to its place in our hearts, and the Union, we combined the the state's letters and numbers to make a simple, significant mark... anyway you look at it.
