About Ohio

Lake Erie forms much of Ohio's northern edge, and the Ohio River curves along its southern and eastern borders. Glaciers smoothed the north and west into farm country, but they never reached the southeast, a land of rugged, wooded hills. Ohio was the first state made from the old Northwest Territory, and it joined the Union as the 17th state in 1803.

About half of all Ohioans live in and around Columbus, Cleveland and Cincinnati. Towns grew up along the Ohio River, the canals and the railroads, and the northeast still has town greens laid out by settlers from Connecticut. Seven presidents were born in Ohio, from Ulysses S. Grant to Warren G. Harding.

Cleveland and Northeast Ohio

Cleveland, Akron, Canton and Youngstown are the big cities here, spread from the Lake Erie shore south into rolling farm country. Surveyors from Connecticut founded Cleveland in 1796 and named it for their leader, Moses Cleaveland. Akron was known as the Rubber Capital of the World, and the league that became the NFL was founded in Canton in 1920. To the south, Holmes County is home to one of the largest Amish communities in the country.

Toledo and Northwest Ohio

Toledo, Findlay, Lima, Bowling Green and Sandusky are the main towns of this flat farm country, much of it once the Great Black Swamp. Settlers drained the swamp with ditches and clay tile between 1859 and 1885. Toledo became the Glass City after glassmakers arrived in the 1880s, and Wapakoneta was the hometown of Neil Armstrong, the first person to walk on the moon. From the Lake Erie shore, ferries carry visitors to Kelleys Island and Put-in-Bay.

Columbus and Central Ohio

Columbus, Newark, Dublin, Mansfield and Delaware are the main towns of the farm country in the middle of the state. Lawmakers laid out Columbus in 1812 as a new capital, and the government moved there from Chillicothe in 1816. Ohio State University was founded in Columbus in 1870. The Hopewell people built the great earthworks at Newark and Chillicothe nearly 2,000 years ago, and in 2023 they became a World Heritage Site.

Cincinnati and the Miami Valley

Cincinnati grew up as a river port on the Ohio, and Dayton, Hamilton and Middletown sit up the Great Miami River in the Miami Valley. The Wright brothers ran a bicycle shop in Dayton and practiced flying in 1904 and 1905 over a cow pasture outside town. When John Roebling's bridge at Cincinnati opened in 1866, it was the longest suspension bridge in the world. From his house on the hill above Ripley, John Rankin is believed to have helped more than 2,000 people escape slavery.

Appalachian Ohio

Zanesville, Athens, Steubenville, Portsmouth and Marietta sit among the wooded hills and river valleys of Appalachian Ohio. Marietta, founded in 1788 where the Muskingum River meets the Ohio, was the first permanent American settlement in the Northwest Territory. In the Hocking Hills, trails wind past waterfalls and sandstone caves like Old Man's Cave. Near Peebles, American Indians built the Great Serpent Mound, which curls for about a quarter mile along a bluff.
