- List_of_Minnesota_state_symbols abstract "The U.S. state of Minnesota has eighteen official symbols, as designated by the Minnesota Legislature. The first named symbol is the state's motto, L'Étoile du Nord – French for "Star of the North". It was selected in 1861, shortly after Minnesota achieved statehood, by the first governor Henry Sibley as a reflection of Minnesota's location so far north. That same year, the State Seal was also appointed. Minnesota did not designate another official symbol until 1945, when "Hail! Minnesota" – then the official song of the University of Minnesota – was designated as state song. In 1984, Minnesota became the first state to appoint a state mushroom, the morel (Morchella esculenta).Minnesota schoolchildren have been the force behind the successful promotion of four official symbols – the blueberry muffin (1988), the Monarch butterfly (2000), the Honeycrisp apple (2006), and ice hockey (2009). The newest symbol of Minnesota is Lester, declared the state soil in 2012. In addition, many other symbols have been proposed as representations of the state, but for various reasons have been unsuccessful. Suggested animals have included the white-tailed deer, the northern leopard frog, the eastern timber wolf, the thirteen-lined ground squirrel, and the Blanding's turtle. Through the years, the State Legislature has also voted on unsuccessful bills to designate the Tilt-A-Whirl as official amusement ride, the works Little House on the Prairie and On the Banks of Plum Creek as state book, "Minnesota Blue" as official poem, as well as the appointment of a poet laureate position.".
