The capital of the state of Michigan in the United States. It faces the Grand River, 136 km west-northwest of Detroit. When the state government was moved from Detroit in 1847, it was a wasteland. It was incorporated as a city in 1859. At the end of the 19th century, it developed as a manufacturing center for small steam engines for agricultural machinery. The Old Motor Work Company and the Leo Motor Car Company were founded, and it became the center of the automobile industry, with related industries such as diesel engines, hoists, and pumps established there. Michigan State University (founded in 1855) is located in nearby East Lansing. Population: 114,297 (2010).
