From what I understand, only the eastern half of the UP was supposed to be part of the State of Michigan. The western half would have gone to Wisconsin. But, the Federal government took Toledo and gave it to Ohio, and then gave Michigan the rest of the Upper Peninsula to make up for taking Toledo away. Sounds like Michigan ended up getting a better deal than Ohio.
