Ohio is a Midwestern state
of the United States The
thirty-fourth largest state by area in the U.S.,[18] it
is the seventh-most populous with nearly 11.5 million residents. Ohio, whose name was derived from the Seneca
word ohi:yo’, meaning "large creek," was formed
primarily from the Ohio Territory and was
admitted to the Union as the seventeenth state (and the first under the Northwest Ordinance) on
March 1, 1803. Ohio is known as the "Buckeye State" for its prevalence
of Ohio Buckeye trees, and, as
such, Ohioans are also known as "Buckeyes." |
