The nickname for Minnesota is the "Gopher State." This nickname is believed to have originated in the late 19th century, possibly referring to the burrowing gopher or as a playful reference to the state's mining history, where miners were sometimes called "gophers." Additionally, the gopher is also the mascot of the University of Minnesota, further solidifying the nickname's association with the state.
