"Water Wonderland" appeared on
Michigan license plates beginning in 1954. It was modified to
"Water-Winter Wonderland" in 1965. This modified legend appeared
on Michigan license plates from 1965 through 1967. With over
40,000 square miles of water surface within its boundaries,
Michigan's history has been "saturated" with the association.
"Lady of the Lake" is another nickname referencing the influence
of water in the state. It is thought that this nickname may have
been taken from Sir Walter Scott's poem, "The Lady of the Lake."
As a result, the state is one of the leading industrial,
farming, tourist, and mining states in the nation. |
