Michigan is called the "Wolverine State" primarily due to the presence of the wolverine animal in its early history, although the actual population of wolverines in the state has been quite limited. The name is believed to have originated in the early 19th century, possibly as a nickname for the early settlers who were considered fierce and tenacious, much like the animal itself. Additionally, the name may have been inspired by a misinterpretation of the state's fur trade history. Today, the wolverine is associated with Michigan's identity, particularly in its sports and culture.
