 In August 1835 , at the strong urging of Ohio 's Congressmen , President Jackson removed Mason as Michigan 's Territorial Governor and appointed John S. ( " Little Jack " ) Horner in his stead . Before his replacement arrived , Mason ordered 1 @,@ 000 Michigan militiamen to enter Toledo and prevent the symbolically important first session of the Ohio Court of Common Pleas . While the idea was popular with Michigan residents , the effort failed : the judges held a midnight court before quickly retreating south of the Maumee River , where Ohio forces were positioned .

 In May and June 1835 , Michigan drafted a State Constitution , with provisions for a bicameral legislature , a supreme court , and other components of a functional state government . However , Congress was still not willing to allow Michigan 's entry into the Union , and President Jackson vowed to reject Michigan 's statehood until the border issue and " war " were resolved .

 On June 15 , 1836 , Jackson signed a bill that allowed Michigan to become a state , but only after it ceded the Toledo Strip . In exchange for this concession , Michigan would be granted the western three @-@ quarters of what is now known as the Upper Peninsula ( the easternmost portion had already been included in the state boundaries ) . Because of the perceived worthlessness of the Upper Peninsula 's remote wilderness , a September 1836 special convention in Ann Arbor , Michigan , rejected the offer .

 Contenders seeking designation as the new capitol included Ann Arbor , Jackson , Grand Rapids , and Shiawassee Township in Shiawassee County . At one point during the debate , Marshall officials were so certain of its selection that they built a governor 's mansion . After extensive debate , State Senator Joseph H. Kilbourne of Ingham County proposed that the nearly uninhabited Lansing Township be made the seat of government . The legislature agreed , with the location north of Ann Arbor , west of Detroit , and east of Grand Rapids being deemed a suitable compromise . The legislature renamed it as the Town of Michigan , though by 1848 the original name of Lansing was restored .
