state of Ohio. State of Ohio Flag of Ohio State seal of Ohio Map of the United States with Ohio highlighted Lowest point Ohio River at Indiana border Ohio Listeni/o ha .o / is a Midwestern state in the Great Lakes region of the United States. Ohio is the 34th biggest by area, the 7th most populous, and the 10th most densely populated of the 50 United States. The state takes its name from the Ohio River. The name originated from the Iroquois word ohi-yo', meaning "great river" or "large creek". Partitioned from the Northwest Territory, the state was admitted to the Union as the 17th state (and the first under the Northwest Ordinance) on March 1, 1803. Ohio is historically known as the "Buckeye State" after its Ohio buckeye trees, and Ohioans are also known as "Buckeyes". The government of Ohio is composed of the executive branch, led by the Governor; the legislative branch, which comprises the Ohio General Assembly; and the judicial branch, which is led by the state Supreme Court. Ohio is situated in 16 seats in the United States House of Representatives. Ohio is known for its status as both a swing state and a bellwether in nationwide elections. Six Presidents of the United States have been propel who had Ohio as their home state.

To the north, Lake Erie gives Ohio 312 miles (502 km) of coastline, which allows for various cargo ports. Ohio's southern border is defined by the Ohio River (with the border being at the 1792 low-water mark on the north side of the river), and much of the northern border is defined by Lake Erie. Ohio's neighbors are Pennsylvania to the east, Michigan to the northwest, Ontario Canada, to the north, Indiana to the west, Kentucky on the south, and West Virginia on the southeast. Bounded on the east by the Pennsylvania line, on the south by the Ohio River, to the mouth of the Great Miami River, on the west by the line drawn due north from the mouth of the Great Miami aforesaid, and on the north by an east and west line drawn through the southerly extreme of Lake Michigan, running east after intersecting the due north line aforesaid, from the mouth of the Great Miami until it shall intersect Lake Erie or the territorial line, and thence with the same through Lake Erie to the Pennsylvania line aforesaid. Ohio is bounded by the Ohio River, but nearly all of the river itself belongs to Kentucky and West Virginia. Supreme Court held that, based on the wording of the cessation of territory by Virginia (which at that time encompassed what is now Kentucky and West Virginia), the boundary between Ohio and Kentucky (and, by implication, West Virginia) is the northern low-water mark of the river as it existed in 1792. Ohio has only that portion of the river between the river's 1792 low-water mark and the present high-water mark. Physical geography of Ohio. The rugged southeastern quadrant of Ohio, stretching in an outward bow-like arc along the Ohio River from the West Virginia Panhandle to the outskirts of Cincinnati, forms a distinct socio-economic unit. In 1965 the United States Congress passed the Appalachian Regional Development Act, at attempt to "address the persistent poverty and burgeoning economic despair of the Appalachian Region." This act defines 29 Ohio counties as part of Appalachia. While 1/3 of Ohio's territory mass is part of the federally defined Appalachian region, only 12.8% of Ohioans live there (1.476 million citizens .) Significant rivers inside the state include the Cuyahoga River, Great Miami River, Maumee River, Muskingum River, and Scioto River. Lawrence River, and the rivers in the southern part of the state drain into the Gulf of Mexico via the Ohio River and then the Mississippi. The worst weather disaster in Ohio history occurred along the Great Miami River in 1913. As a result, the Miami Conservancy District was created as the first primary flood plain engineering universal in Ohio and the United States. It should be noted that Ohio's canal-building projects were not the economic fiasco that similar accomplishments were in other states. The climate of Ohio is a humid continental climate (Koppen climate classification Dfa/Dfb) throughout most of the state except in the extreme southern counties of Ohio's Bluegrass region section which are positioned on the northern periphery of the humid subtropical climate (Cfa) and Upland South region of the United States. Severe weather is not uncommon in the state, although there are typically severaler tornado reports in Ohio than in states positioned in what is known as the Tornado Alley. For instance, a number of trees with more southern ranges, such as the blackjack oak, Quercus marilandica, are found at their northernmost in Ohio just north of the Ohio River. Also evidencing this climatic transition from a subtropical to continental climate, a several plants such as the Southern magnolia (Magnolia grandiflora), Albizia julibrissin (mimosa), Crape Myrtle, and even the occasional Needle Palm are hardy landscape materials regularly used as street, yard, and garden plantings in the Bluegrass region of Ohio; but these same plants will simply not thrive in much of the rest of the State. This interesting change may be observed while traveling through Ohio on Interstate 75 from Cincinnati to Toledo; the observant traveler of this diverse state may even catch a glimpse of Cincinnati's common wall lizard, one of the several examples of permanent "subtropical" fauna in Ohio. The most substantial known earthquake in Ohio history was the Anna (Shelby County) earthquake, which occurred on March 9, 1937. Other momentous earthquakes in Ohio include: one of magnitude 4.8 near Lima on September 19, 1884; one of magnitude 4.2 near Portsmouth on May 17, 1901; and one of 5.0 in Le - Roy Township in Lake County on January 31, 1986, which continued to trigger 13 aftershocks of magnitude 0.5 to 2.4 for two months. The most recent earthquake in Ohio of any appreciable magnitude occurred on December 31, 2011, at 3:05pm EST. The Ohio Seismic Network (Ohio - Seis), a group of seismograph stations at a several colleges, universities, and other establishments, and coordinated by the Division of Geological Survey of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, maintains an extensive catalog of Ohio earthquakes from 1776 to the present day, as well as earthquakes positioned in other states whose effects were felt in Ohio.

These early nomads disappeared from Ohio by 1,000 BC, "but their material culture provided a base for those who followed them".[attribution needed] Between 1,000 and 800 BC, the sedentary Adena culture emerged. American Indians in the Ohio Valley were greatly affected by the aggressive tactics of the Iroquois Confederation, based in central and New York. After the Beaver Wars in the mid-17th century, the Iroquois claimed much of the Ohio nation as hunting and, more importantly, beaver-trapping ground. The indigenous nations to inhabit Ohio in the historical reconstructionencompassed the Miamis (a large confederation); Wyandots (made up of refugees, especially from the fractured Huron confederacy); Delawares (pushed west from their historic homeland in New Jersey); Shawnees (also pushed west, although they may have been descended from the Fort Ancient citizens of Ohio); Ottawas (more generally associated with the upper Great Lakes region); Mingos (like the Wyandot, a group recently formed of refugees from Iroquois); Eries (gradually combined into the new, multi-ethnic "republics," namely the Wyandot) Ohio nation was also the site of Indian massacres, such as the Yellow Creek Massacre, Gnadenhutten and Pontiac's Rebellion school massacre. In the Treaty of Paris in 1783, Britain ceded all claims to Ohio nation to the United States. Settlement began with the beginning of Marietta by the Ohio Company of Associates, which had been formed by a group of American Revolutionary War veterans. Following the Ohio Company, the Miami Company (also referred to as the "Symmes Purchase") claimed the southwestern section, and the Connecticut Land Company surveyed and settled the Connecticut Western Reserve in present-day Northeast Ohio. The old Northwest Territory originally encompassed areas previously known as Ohio Country and Illinois Country. As Ohio prepared for statehood, the Indiana Territory was created, reducing the Northwest Territory to approximately the size of present-day Ohio plus the easterly half of the Lower Peninsula of Michigan and the easterly tip of the Upper Peninsula. Although Ohio's populace numbered only 45,000 in December 1801, Congress determined that the populace was burgeoning rapidly and Ohio could begin the path to statehood. Furthermore, in regards to the Leni Lenape Native Americans living in the region, Congress decided that 10,000 acres on the Muskingum River in the present state of Ohio would "be set apart and the property thereof be vested in the Moravian Brethren ...

However, Congress had never passed a resolution formally admitting Ohio as the 17th state. Bender introduced a bill in Congress to admit Ohio to the Union retroactive to March 1, 1803, the date on which the Ohio General Assembly first convened. At a special session at the old state capital in Chillicothe, the Ohio state council allowed a new petition for statehood that was bringed to Washington, D.C. On August 7, 1953 (the year of Ohio's 150th anniversary), President Eisenhower signed a congressional joint resolution that officially declared March 1, 1803, the date of Ohio's admittance into the Union.
