Excerpt from Minnesota: Its Resources and Progress; Its Beauty, Healthfulness and Fertility; And Its Attractions and Advantages as a Home for Immigrants The State of Minnesota occupies the exact centre of the continent of North America. It lies midway between the Arctic and Tropic circles - midway between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans - and midway between Hudson's Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. It embraces the sources of the three vast water systems which reach their ocean termini, northward through Hudson's Bay, eastward through the chain of great lakes, and southward via the Mississippi River. It extends from 43 1/2 to 49 of north latitude, and from 89 29' to 97 5' of west longitude; and is bounded on the north by the Winnipeg district of British America, on the west by the Territory of Dakota, on the south by the State of Iowa, and on the east by Lake Superior and the State of Wisconsin. The State derives its name from its principal river, which the Dakotas named "Minnesota," signifying, by a somewhat liberal and poetical rendering, "cloud-colored" or "sky-tinted water." The name is peculiarly apt and appropriate, the waters of that river, contrasted with the dark coffee-colored flood of the Mississippi, possessing that peculiar tint of a slightly clouded sky which is compounded of many colors. This important region was almost wholly unknown to the Anglo-American long after other sections of the country, far less inviting, had been subjected to the refining influences of industry, science, and religion.
