They picked good country.
Yeah the upper peninsula of Michigan has quite the Finnish background. The college they founded in Hancock, Finlandia University (formerly Suomi College) just closed a couple years ago.
Looks like Isle Royale is just packed with folks of Finnish descent!
An interesting video about the history of the area

Great climate for saunas….
There’s only 655k of us?
[Otter Tail County, MN](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otter_Tail_County,_Minnesota) had a large number of Finnish American communists before the Winter War.
„During the Great Depression, there was a communist faction within the county. The areas where the movement was centered are quite desolate today, but in mid-1932 over 900 people were involved in one of the state’s communist organizations at what was a historic low point for farmers. The members of the communist party were very active in the New York Mills area of Newton, Leaf Lake, Blowers, Deer Creek and Paddock Townships. They held meetings, recruited members, placed candidates on local and state tickets, and distributed propaganda. They held dances in Heinola, Menahga, and Sebeka where the Soviet hammer and sickle was proudly displayed and ran a summer camp on East Leaf Lake.
By the time Franklin Roosevelt implemented his New Deal programs in the county, the communist movement began to lose steam. In addition, the Winter War in Europe between Finland and the U.S.S.R. soured many Finnish immigrants on communism (Finns had been a large proportion of the local communists). Carl Peltoniemi, a former local communist, said, „The communist movement within the Finnish community basically ended at the start of the Winter War in 1939–1940.““
Finland!!
You want an even rarer one. Try to find the Belgians [on this map](https://www.reddit.com/r/USCensus2020/s/5CJxAkoK5s)
i’m half finnish, does that count 😇
I miss the Finnish sauna in Astoria, Oregon.
Looks like Finnish emigrants like lakes?
Looks like Michigan is Finnished
We could have made the UP its own state and called it Little Finland
I think there is alot more Finns on the Canadian side. I could be wrong thoughÂ
I love how practically all of them are colder climates except for a big blob out in Vegas
Looks like a supermajority in the National Park!
Isle Royal: we have 4 persons here. Two speaks Finnish.
My great grandma passed last weekend, but she lived in the upper peninsula of Michigan and was 100% Finnish 🙂 And I’m from the big blue slice of Minnesota! This is a very relevant map for me
