Minnesota
Origin of name: Named from the Dakota word mnishotal, wich means "cloudy"or "milky water"

The Minnesota state flag is royal blue, with a gold fringe.  In the center of the flag is the state seal.  Around the seal is a wreath of the state flower, the lady slipper.  Three dates are woven into the wreath: 1858 the year Minnesota became a state; 1819 the year Fort Snelling was established; and 1893 the year the official flag was adopted. Nineteen stars ring the wreath.  The largest star represents Minnesota.
