Lansing is the capital of the state of Michigan. It is located mostly in Ingham County, although portions of the city extend west into Eaton County and north in-to Clinton County. The 2010 Census placed the city's population at 114,297, making it the fifth largest city in Michigan. It was named the new state capital of Michigan in 1847, 10 years after its admittance to the U.S. The Lansing Metropolitan Area, colloquially referred to as "Mid-Michigan", is an important center for educational, cultural, governmental, commercial, and industrial functions. The area is home to two medical schools, one veterinary school, two nursing schools, two law schools—including Western Michigan University and Michigan State University—a Big Ten Conference university (Michigan State), the Michigan State Capitol, the state Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals, a federal court, the Library of Michigan and Historical Center, and headquarters of four national insurance companies. Located within 90 minutes of 90 percent of Michigan’s population, thousands of Michigan residents travel across the state each year for Greater Lansing's premier festivals and events. Golfers flock to the region for lush greens and scenic fairways, and with 30 golf courses within 30 miles of the city, there’s a course to fit every budget. Lansing offers endless distinctive attractions that are both enriching and fun.
