When Michigan became a state on January 26, 1837, the Upper Peninsula was included as part of its territory. The Upper Peninsula was formally attached to Michigan following a boundary dispute with Ohio, which was resolved in favor of Michigan. This included the land north of the Straits of Mackinac, effectively making the entire state, including the Upper Peninsula, part of Michigan at its statehood.
