[Ans] Which state is known as the Badger State?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which state is known as the Badger State?"

On this day in 1848, Wisconsin entered the Union as the 30th state. The nickname for Wisconsin is "The Badger State." The badger is featured on Wisconsin's coat of arms, state seal, and state flag, and is also the official state animal. The nickname dates back to the 1820s, when mining became a huge business, leading thousands of men to the ample iron ore mines in the Midwest. Wisconsin workers made temporary homes by digging caves into the rock of the mines, similar to tunnels that badgers dig for shelter. The miners came to be known as “badger boys” or “badgers,” and the name eventually came to represent the state itself.
