LOCATION, SIZE, AND EXTENT

Located in the eastern north-central United States, Ohio is the 11th largest of the 12 Midwestern states and ranks 35th in size among the 50 states.

The state's total area is 41,330 sq mi (107,044 sq km), of which land comprises 41,004 sq mi (106,201 sq km) and inland water 326 sq mi (823 sq km). Ohio extends about 210 mi (338 km) e-w; its maximum n-s extension is 230 mi (370 km).

Ohio is bordered on the n by Michigan and the Canadian province of Ontario (with the line passing through Lake Erie); on the e by Pennsylvania and West Virginia (with the Ohio River forming part of the boundary); on the s by West Virginia and Kentucky (with the entire line defined by the Ohio River); and on the w by Indiana.

Five important islands lie off the state's northern shore, in Lake Erie: the three Bass Islands, Kelleys Island, and Catawba Island. Ohio's total boundary length is 997 mi (1,605 km).

The state's geographic center is in Delaware County, 25 mi (40 km) nne of Columbus.

TOPOGRAPHY

Ohio has three distinct topographical regions: the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains in the eastern half of the state; the Erie lakeshore, extending for nearly three-fourths of the northern boundary; and the central plains in the western half of the state.

The Allegheny Plateau in eastern Ohio consists of rugged hills and steep valleys that recede gradually as the terrain sweeps westward toward the central plains. The highest point in the state is Campbell Hill (1,549 ft /472 m), located in Logan County about 50 mi (80 km) northwest of Columbus. The mean elevation of the state is approximately 850 ft (259 m).

The Erie lakeshore, a band of level lowland that runs across the state to the northwestern corner on the Michigan boundary, is distinguished by sandy beaches. The central plains extend to the western boundary with Indiana. In the south, undulating hills decline in altitude as they reach the serpentine Ohio River, which forms the state's southern boundary with Kentucky and West Virginia. The state's lowest point is on the bands of the Ohio River in the southwest, where the altitude drops to 455 ft (139 m) above sea level.

Most of Ohio's 2,500 lakes are situated in the east, and nearly all are reservoirs backed up by river dams. The largest, Pymatuning Reservoir, on the Pennsylvania border, has an area of 14,650 acres (5,929 hectares). Grand Lake (St. Mary's), located near the western border, covering 12,500 acres (5,059 hectares), is the largest lake wholly within Ohio.

Ohio has two drainage basins separated by a low ridge extending from the northeast corner to about the middle of the western border with Indiana. North of the ridge, more than one-third of Ohio's area is drained by the Maumee, Portage, Sandusky, Cuyahoga, and Grand rivers into Lake Erie. South of the ridge, the remaining two-thirds of the state is drained mainly by the Muskingum, Hocking, Raccoon, Scioto, Little Miami, and Miami rivers into the Ohio River, which winds for about 450 mi (725 km) along the eastern and southern borders.

Ohio's bedrock of sandstone, shale, and limestone was formed during the Paleozoic era some 300-600 million years ago. The oldest limestone rocks are found in the Cincinnati anticline, a ridge of sedimentary rock layers about 3,000 ft (900 m) thick that extends from north to south in west-central Ohio. Inland seas filled and receded periodically to form salt and gypsum, also creating peat bogs that later were pressurized into the coal beds of southeastern Ohio. At the end of the Paleozoic era, the land in the eastern region uplifted to form a plateau that was later eroded by wind and water into hills and gorges.

About two million years ago, glaciers covering two-thirds of the state leveled the western region into plains and deposited fertile limestone topsoil. As the glaciers retreated, the melting ice formed a vast lake, which overflowed southward into the channels that became the Ohio River. Perhaps 15,000 years ago, during the last Ice Age, the glacial waters ran off and reduced Lake Erie to its present size. Limestone rocks in Glacier Grooves State Park on Kelley's Island bear the marks of the glaciers' movements.

CLIMATE

Lying in the humid continental zone, Ohio has a generally temperate climate. Winters are cold and summers mild in the eastern highlands. The southern region has the warmest temperatures and longest growing season198 days on the average, compared with 150 to 178 days in the remainder of the state. More than half of the annual rainfall occurs during the growing season, from May to October.

Among the major cities, Columbus, in the central region, has an annual average temperature of 52°f (11°c), with a normal maximum of 62°f (16°c) and a normal minimum of 42°f (5°c). Cleveland, in the north, has an annual average of 51°f (10°c), with a normal maximum of 59°f (15°c) and minimum of 41°f (5°c). The average temperature in Cincinnati, in the south, is 54.5°f (12°c), the normal maximum 64.6°f (18°c), and the normal minimum 44.3°f (6°c). Cleveland has an average of 122 days per year in which the temperature drops to 32° (0°c) or lower, Columbus 117 days, and Cincinnati 90 days. The record low temperature for the state is 39°f (39°c), set at Milligan on 10 February 1899. The record high is 113°f (45°c), registered near Gallipolis on 21 July 1934.

Cleveland has an average annual snowfall of 55.4 in (140 cm), while Columbus receives 27.6 in (70 cm), and Cincinnati 14.2 in (36 cm). The average annual precipitation in Cincinnati is about with 40.7 in (103 cm), compared with 37.8 in (96 cm) for Columbus and 37.2 in (94 cm) for Cleveland. Because of its proximity to Lake Erie, Cleveland is the windiest city, with winds that average 11 mph (18 km/hr).

FLORA AND FAUNA

More than 2,500 plant species have been found in Ohio. The southeastern hill and valley region supports pitch pine, big leaf magnolia, and sourwood, with undergrowths of sassafras, witch-hazel, pawpaw, hornbeam, and various dogwoods. At least 14 species of oak, 10 of maple, 9 of poplar, 9 of pine, 7 of ash, 7 of elm, 6 of hickory, 5 of birch, and 2 of beech grow in the state, along with butternut, eastern black walnut, wild black cherry, black locust, and sycamore. A relative of the horse chestnut (introduced to Ohio from Asia), the distinctive buckeyefirst called the Ohio buckeye and now the official state treeis characterized by its clusters of cream-colored flowers that bloom in spring and later form large, brown, thick-hulled nuts. Five Ohio plant species were listed as threatened in 2006, including eastern prairie fringed orchid, northern wild monkshood, and lakeside daisy; the running buffalo clover was listed as endangered that year by the US Fish and Wildlife Service.

The Buckeye State is rich in mammals. White-tailed deer, badger, mink, raccoon, red and gray foxes, coyote, beaver, eastern cottontail, woodchuck, least shrew, and opossum are found throughout the state's five wildlife districts; the bobcat, woodland jumping mouse, and red-backed mole are among many species with more restricted habitats. Common birds include the eastern great blue heron, green-winged teal, mourning dove, eastern belted king-fisher, eastern horned lark, blue-gray gnatcatcher, eastern cow-bird, and a great variety of ducks, woodpeckers, and warblers; the cardinal is the state bird, and the ruffed grouse, mostly confined to the Allegheny Plateau, is a favorite game species. Bass, pickerel, perch, carp, pike, trout, catfish, sucker, and darter thrive in Ohio's lakes and streams. The snapping, midland painted, and spiny soft -shelled turtles, five-lined skink, northern water snake, midland brown snake, eastern hognose, and eastern milk snake appear throughout Ohio. The northern copperhead, eastern massasauga (swamp rattler), and timber rattlesnake are Ohio's only poisonous reptiles. Fowler's toad, bullfrog, green pickerel frog, and marbled and red-backed salamanders are common native amphibians.

Acting on the premise that the largest problem facing wildlife is the destruction of their habitat, the Division of Wildlife of the Department of Natural Resources has instituted an ambitious endangered species program. The US Fish and Wildlife Service listed 17 Ohio animal species (vertebrates and invertebrates) as threatened or endangered in April 2006, including the bald eagle, Indiana bat, Scioto madtom, and piping plover.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Early conservation efforts in Ohio were aimed at controlling the ravages of spring floods and preventing soil erosion. After the Miami River floods of March 1913, which took 361 lives and resulted in property losses of more than $100 million in Dayton alone, the Miami Conservancy District was formed; five earth dams and 60 mi (97 km) of river levees were completed by 1922, at a cost of $40 million, to hold back cresting water. In the Muskingum Conservancy District in eastern Ohio, construction of flood-control dams has prevented spring flooding and the washing away of valuable topsoil into the Ohio River.

In recent years, the state's major environmental concerns have been to reverse the pollution of Lake Erie, control the air pollution attributable to industries and automobiles, clean up dumps for solid and hazardous wastes, improve water quality, and prevent pollution. Of recent concern is the problem with so-called "brownfields"polluted industrial sites whose cleanup costs present barriers to development. In November 2000, voters approved the Clean Ohio Fund; it will provide $200 million to help revitalize abandoned commercial and industrial sites, promoting reuse of existing infrastructure, and helping to reduce sprawl. The Clean Ohio Revitalization Fund awarded nearly $40 million to 17 projects in its first round of funding.

The state's regulatory agency for environmental matters is the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), established in 1972. The agency has long-range programs to deal with pollution of air, water, and land resources. Ohio EPA also coordinates state, local, and federal funding of environmental programs.

Since 1972, antipollution efforts in Lake Erie have focused on reducing the discharge of phosphorus into the lake from sewage and agricultural wastes; sewage treatment facilities have been upgraded with the aid of more than $750 million in federal grants, and efforts have been made to promote reduced-tillage farming to control runoff. By the early 1980s, numerous beaches had been reopened, and sport fishing was once again on the increase. Since 1972, Ohio industries spent billions of dollars on efforts to control air pollution. Peak ozone levels have dropped by 25% overall and by up to 50% in some urban areas. Lead levels in the outdoor air have dropped 98% since 1978 and particulate levels have dropped 80%. From 1967 to 1983, through the efforts of local health departments and with the eventual help of the EPA, over 1,300 open garbage dumps were closed down and more than 200 sanitary landfills constructed to replace them. In 2003, 251.6 million lb of toxic chemicals were released in the state; Ohio ranks fourth in the nation for highest levels of toxic chemicals released (following Alaska, Nevada, and Texas).

In 1980, Ohio passed its first legislation aimed at controlling hazardous wastes, and by the mid-1980s, with the aid of more than $11 million in federal Superfund grants, cleanup had been completed or begun at 16 major sites. In 2003, Ohio had 318 hazardous waste sites listed in the US Environment Protection Agency (EPA) database. In 2006, 30 of these sites were on the National Priorities List, including Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Ricken-backer Air National Guard base has been proposed as a National Priority List Site. In 2005, the EPA spent over $5.1 million through the Superfund program for the cleanup of hazardous waste sites in the state. The same year, federal EPA grants awarded to the state included $25.2 million for its safe drinking water revolving fund. An addition grant of $60.6 million was awarded to provide assistance for water resource protection and improvement projects in small and hardship communities.

Another agency, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, is responsible for the development and use of the state's natural resources. The state's parks and recreational areas totaled 208,000 acres (84,000 hectares). The department also assists in soil conservation, issues permits for dams, promotes conservation of oil and gas, and allocates strip-mining licenses.

POPULATION

Ohio ranked seventh in population in the United States with an estimated total of 11,464,042 in 2005, an increase of 1% since 2000. Between 1990 and 2000, Ohio's population grew from 10,847,115 to 11,353,140, an increase of 4.7%. The population is projected to reach 11.63 million by 2015, but a decline to 11.6 is projected by 2025. The population density in 2004 was 280.1 persons per sq mi.

Ohio's population grew slowly during the colonial period and totaled 45,365 persons in 1800. Once the territory became a state in 1803, settlers flocked to Ohio and the population quintupled to 230,760 by 1810, The state's population doubled again by 1820, approached 2,000,000 in 1850, and totaled 3,198,062 by 1880. Ohio's annual rate of population increase slowed considerably after 1900, when its population was 4,157,545; nevertheless, in the period between 1900 and 1960, the total population more than doubled to 9,706,397. A slow rate of population increase during the 1970s, and a population decline during 198085, resulted from a net migration loss and a declining birthrate.

In 2004, the median age in Ohio was 37.5. In the same year, more than 24.3% of the populace were under age 18 while 13.3% was age 65 or older.

As of the 1990 census, Columbus became Ohio's largest city, with a population of 632,910, trading second place with Cleveland, which had 505,616 residents. Whereas Columbus increased its population by 12% during the 1980s, Cleveland's population de-creased by 11.9%. The 2004 estimated populations of the two cities were Columbus, 730,008, and Cleveland, 458,684. The Columbus metropolitan area had an estimated population of 1,693,906. The Cleveland metropolitan area (including Elyria and Mentor) had a population of about 2,137,073. Cincinnati and other large cities also lost population during this period, largely because of the shift of the middle class from the inner cities to the suburbs or to other states. In 2004, Cincinnati's estimated population was 314,154, followed by Toledo, 304,973; Akron, 212,179; and Dayton, 160,293. The Cincinnati metropolitan area had an estimated population of 2,058,221.

ETHNIC GROUPS

Ohio was first settled by migrants from the eastern states and from the British Isles and northern Europe, especially Germany. Cincinnati had such a large German population that its public schools were bilingual until World War I. With the coming of the railroads and the development of industry, Slavic and other south Europeans were recruited in large numbers.

By 2000, however, only about 3% of Ohioans were foreign born, the major places of origin being Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Ethnic clusters persist in the large cities, and some small communities retain a specific ethnic flavor, such as Fairport Harbor on Lake Erie, with its large Finnish population.

As of 2000 there were 1,301,307 blacks, representing 11.5% of the population. That percentage increased to 11.9% by 2004. Most live in the larger cities, especially Cleveland, which in 2000 had a black population of 243,939, or 51.0% of the city total. Historically, Ohio was very active in the antislavery movement. Oberlin College, established in 1833 by dissident theological students, admitted blacks from its founding and maintained a "station" on the Underground Railroad. Cleveland elected its first black mayor, Carl B. Stokes, in 1967.

Some 217,123 people in Ohio (1.9% of the total population) were Hispanic or Latino in 2000, up from 140,000 in 1990. The largest number (90,663) were of Mexican descent, but there were also many Puerto Ricans. In 2004, 2.2% of the population was Hispanic or Latino. In 2000, American Indians numbered about 24,486. In 2004, 0.2% of the population was American Indian. In 2000, Asians were estimated to number 132,633, including 30,425 Chinese (up from 16,829 in 1990), 12,393 Filipinos, 10,732 Japanese, and 13,376 Koreans. Pacific Islanders numbered 2,749. In 2004, Asians accounted for 1.4% of the population. In 2004, 1.2% of the population reported origin of two or more races.

Except for small Iroquoian groups like the Erie and Seneca, most of the Indian population before white settlement comprised four Algonkian tribes: Delaware, Miami, Wyandot, and Shawnee. Indian place-names include Ohio, Coshocton, Cuyahoga, and Wapakoneta.

LANGUAGES

Ohio English reflects three post-Revolutionary migration paths. Into the Western Reserve south of Lake Erie came Northern speech from New York and Connecticut. Still common there are the Northern pronunciation of the ow diphthong, as in cow, with a beginning like the /ah/ vowel in father, and the use of the /ah/ in fog and college; /krik/ is more common than /kreek/ for creek. A dragonfly is a devil's darning needle; doughnuts may be fried cakes; a boy throws himself face down on a sled in a bellyflop (per); and a tied and filled bedcover is a comforter.

Most of nonurban Ohio has North Midland speech from Pennsylvania. Generally, except in the northern strip, cot and caught are sound-alikes, and now is /naow/, south of Columbus, because of the influence of South Midland patterns from Kentucky and extreme southern Pennsylvania, corn bread may be corn pone, lima beans are butter beans, and a tied quilt is a comforter. Spouting, yielding to gutters, barely reaches across to Indiana; and sick at the stomach, dived, and wait on me are competing with expanding Northern to the stomach, dove, and wait for me. A new Midland term, bellybuster, originated around Wheeling and has spread north to compete with bellyflop. Northern and Midland merge in the mixed dialect west of Toledo.

From Kentucky, South Midland speakers took you-all into Ohio River towns, and in the southwestern tip of the state can be heard their evening for afternoon, terrapin for tortoise, and frogstool for toadstool. Recent northward migration has introduced South Midland speech and black English, a southern dialect, into such industrial centers as Cleveland, Toledo, and Akron.

Localisms have developed. For the grass strip between sidewalk and street, Akron has devil-strip and Cleveland has treelawn. Foreign-language influence appears in such Pennsylvania Germanisms as clook (hatching hen), snits (dried apples), smearcase (cottage cheese), and got awake.

Of Ohioans aged five years or older 93.9% spoke only English at home in 2000, down from 94.6% in 1990.

The following table gives selected statistics from the 2000 Census for language spoken at home by persons five years old and over.

RELIGIONS

The first religious settlement in Ohio territory was founded among Huron Indians in 1751 by a Roman Catholic priest near what is now Sandusky. Shortly afterward, Moravian missionaries converted some Delaware Indians to Christianity; the first Protestant church was founded by Congregationalist ministers at Marietta in 1788. Dissident religious sects such as the Shakers, Amish, and Quakers moved into Ohio from the early 18th century onward, but the majority of settlers in the early 19th century were Presbyterians, Methodists, Baptists, Disciples of Christ, and Episcopalians.

The first Roman Catholic priest to be stationed permanently in Ohio was Father Edward Fenwick, who settled in Cincinnati in 1817. When the Protestant settlers there did not allow him to build a Catholic church in the town, he founded Christ Church (now St. Francis Church) just outside Cincinnati. In 1821, Father Fenwick became the first Catholic bishop in Ohio. The large influx of Irish and German immigrants after 1830 greatly increased the Catholic constituency in Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, and Toledo. Among the German immigrants were many Lutherans and large number of Jews, who made Cincinnati a center of Reform Judaism. In the mid-19th century, Cincinnati had the nation's third-largest Jewish community; the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the most important Reform body, was founded there in 1873, and Hebrew Union College, a rabbinical training school and center of Jewish learning, was founded two years later.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons), founded in 1930 by Joseph Smith Jr. of New York, built its first permanent place of worship in Kirtland, Ohio, in 1933. The Kirtland Temple, as it has been called, is still open today as a museum and educational center. A functioning temple was opened in Columbus in 1999. In 2006, the Latter-day Saints reported a statewide membership of 54,297 in 124 congregations.

In 2004, Ohio had a Roman Catholic population of about 2,139,524, with about 512,146 members belonging to the archdiocese of Cincinnati and 812,675 members within the Cleveland diocese. In 2000, the state's Jewish population was estimated at 142,255. Leading Jewish communities were in Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Columbus. The Muslim population was at about 41,281 people. Ohio communities of Amish and Mennonites are among the largest in the nation with over 24,000 Amish and over 20,000 Mennonites in the state (primarily central Ohio).

In the United Methodist Church is one of the largest Protestant denominations, with a membership of about 420,142 statewide in 2004. In 2000, the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America reported 301,749 members; the Southern Baptist Convention had 187,227 (with 5,251 newly baptized members in 2002); the Presbyterian Church USA, 160,800, Christian Churches and Churches of Christ, 142,571; and the American Baptist Churches USA, 117,757. In 2000, about 6.2 million people (55.1% of the population) were not counted as members of any religious organization. The national Office of General Ministries of the United Church of Christ is located in Cleveland. The Ohio conference of the United Church of Christ had about 118,449 members in 2005.

TRANSPORTATION

Sandwiched between two of the country's largest inland water systems, Lake Erie and the Ohio River, Ohio has long been a leader in water transport. With its numerous terminals on the Ohio River and deepwater ports on Lake Erie, Ohio ranks as one of the major US states for shipping.

The building of railroads in the mid-19th century greatly improved transportation within the state by connecting inland counties with Lake Erie and the Ohio River. The Mad River and Lake Erie Railroad, between Dayton and Sandusky, was completed in 1844, and two years later, it was joined with the Little Miami Railroad, to provide through service to Cincinnati. By 1856, Cleveland was connected by rail with Columbus and Pittsburgh. Railroad building in the state reached a peak in the 1850s. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Ohio had more miles of track than any other state. By 1900, railroads were by far the most important system of transport.

In 2003, Class I railroads operated 4,510 rail mi (7,261 km) of track in the state, out of a total of 6,519 mi (10,495 km) of track in service. In that same year, Ohio had 19 railroads within its borders, including three Class I railroads. Freight service on branch lines to counties has been maintained through a state subsidy program.

Mass transit in Ohio's cities began in 1859 with horse-drawn carriages carrying paying passengers in Cleveland and Cincinnati, which added a cable car on rails about 1880. The electric trolley car, introduced to Cleveland in 1884, soon became the most popular mass transit system for the large cities. Inter-urban electric railways carried passengers to and from rural towns that had been bypassed by the railroads. There were 2,809 mi (4,521 km) of interurban track in the state by 1907. The use of electric railways declined with the development of the motor car in the 1920s, and by 1939, for example, the seven interurban lines serving Columbus had been abandoned. Today, suburbanites mostly commute to their workplaces in Columbus and other cities by automobile and bus lines. However, Cleveland continues to operate a light rail system, that as of 2004, had around 40 mi (64 km) of track, which stretched from the city's east side and eastern suburbs to the downtown lakefront and out to Cleveland Hopkins Airport on the city's southwestern side. In 2006, Amtrak operated three regularly scheduled trains through Ohio, connecting six cities.

Rough roads were used by settlers in the early 19th century. The National Road was built from Wheeling, West Virginia, to Zanes-ville in 1826, and was extended to Columbus by 1833. The increasing use of the automobile in the 1930s led to massive state and federal road-building programs in Ohio as elsewhere. The major interstate highways across Ohio connect Cleveland and the Toledo area in the north (I-80, I-90); link Columbus with Dayton, Zanesville, and Wheeling (I-70) and with Cincinnati and Cleveland (I-71); and extend north-south from Cleveland and Akron to Marietta in the east (I-77), and from Toledo to Dayton and Cincinnati in the west (I-75).

In 2004, Ohio had 124,752 mi (200,850 km) of roads. In that same year, there were some 6.395 million automobiles, about 4.061 million trucks of all types, some 298,000 motorcycles, and around 18,000 buses registered in the state, along with 7,675,007 licensed drivers.

Inland waterways have long been important for transport and commerce in Ohio. The first settlers traveled into Ohio by flat-boat down the Ohio River to establish such towns as Marietta and Cincinnati. Lake Erie schooners brought the founders of Cleveland and Sandusky. Steamboat service began on the Ohio River in 1811, and at Lake Erie ports in 1818. The public demand for water transportation in the interior of the state, where few rivers were navigable, led to construction of the Ohio and Erie Canal from Portsmouth on the Ohio River to Cleveland, and the Miami and Erie Canal from Cincinnati to Toledo. Both canals were opened to traffic in 1827 but not completed for another 14 years. The canals gave Ohio's farmers better access to eastern and southern markets. Water transportation is still a principal means of shipping Ohio's products through the St. Lawrence Seaway to foreign countries, and the method by which millions of tons of cargo, particularly coal, are moved via the Ohio River to domestic markets.

Ohio's ports rank among the busiest of the 50 states in volume. In 2004, the state's most active ports were: Cleveland, with 15.774 million tons of cargo handled; Cincinnati with 13.898 million tons; Ashtabula with 10.938 million tons; and Toledo with 9.861 million tons. In 2003, waterborne shipments totaled 113.743 million tons. In 2004, Ohio had 444 mi (714 km) of navigable inland waterways.

Ohioans consider Dayton to be the birthplace of aviation because it was there that Wilbur and Orville Wright built the first motor-powered airplane in 1903. In 2005, Ohio had a total of 734 public and private-use aviation-related facilities. This included 519 airports, 209 heliports, 4 STOL ports (Short Take-Off and Landing), and 2 seaplane bases. The state's major air terminals are the Greater Cincinnati airport (actually located across the Ohio River in Kentucky) and Hopkins International in Cleveland. In 2004, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport had 10,864,547 passenger enplanements, while Cleveland Hopkins had 5,389,196 enplanements in that same year, making them the 22nd- and 35th-busiest airports in the United States, respectively.

HISTORY

The first people in Ohio, some 11,000 years ago, were hunters. Their stone tools have been found with skeletal remains of long-extinct mammoths and mastodons. Centuries later, Ohio was inhabited by the Adena people, the earliest mound builders. Their descendants, the Hopewell Indians, built burial mounds, fortifications, and ceremonial earthworks, some of which are now preserved in state parks.

The first European travelers in Ohio, during the 17th century, found four Indian tribes: Wyandot and Delaware in northern Ohio, Miami and Shawnee in the south. All were hunters who followed game trails that threaded the dense Ohio forest. All together, these four tribes numbered about 15,000 people. European exploration was begun by a French nobleman, Robert Cavelier, Sieur de la Salle, who, with Indian guides and paddlers, voyaged from the St. Lawrence River to the Ohio, which he explored in 166970. In the early 1700s, French and English traders brought knives, hatchets, guns, blankets, tobacco, rum, and brandy to exchange for the Indians' deer and beaver skins.

Both the French and the English claimed possession of Ohio, the French claim resting on La Salle's exploration, while the British claimed all territory extending westward from their coastal colonies. To reinforce the French claim, Celeron de Bienville led an expedition from Canada to Ohio in 1749 to warn off English traders, win over the Indians, and assert French possession of the land. Traveling by canoe, with marches overland, he found the Indians better disposed at that time to the English than to the French. The following year, a company of Virginia merchants sent Christopher Gist to map Ohio trade routes and to make friendship and trade agreements with the tribes. The clash of ambitions brought on the French and Indian Warduring which the Indians fought on both sidesending in 1763 with French defeat and the ceding of the vast western territory to the British. During the Revolutionary War, the American militiaman George Rogers Clark, with a small company of woodsmen-soldiers, seized British posts and trading stations in Ohio, and, in the Battle of Piqua, defeated Indian warriors allied with the British. It was largely Clark's campaigns that won the Northwest Territory for the United States.

The new nation had a huge public domain, extending from the Allegheny Mountains to the Mississippi River. To provide future government and development of the territory northwest of the Ohio River, the US Congress enacted the Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. The Land Ordinance created a survey system of rectangular sections and townships, a system begun in Ohio and extended to all new areas in the expanding nation. The farsighted Northwest Ordinance provided a system of government under which territories could achieve statehood on a basis equal with that of the original colonies. When a specified area had a population of 60,000 free adult males, it could seek admission to the Union as a state.

The first permanent settlement in Ohio was made in 1788 by an organization of Revolutionary War veterans who had received land warrants as a reward for their military service. They trekked by ox-drawn wagons over the mountains and by flatboat down the Ohio River to the mouth of the Muskingum, where they built the historic town of Marietta. John Cleves Symes, a New Jersey official, brought pioneer settlers to his Miami Purchase in southwestern Ohio; their first settlement, in 1789, eventually became the city of Cincinnati. Access to the fertile Ohio Valley was provided by the westward-flowing Ohio River, which carried pioneer settlers and frontier commerce. Flatboats made a one-way journey, as families floated toward what they hoped would be new settlements. Keelboats traveled both downstream and upstreaman easy journey followed by a hard one. The keelboat trade, carrying military supplies and frontier produce, created an enduring river lore. Its legendary hero is burly, blustering Mike Fink, "half horse and half alligator," always ready for a fight or a frolic, for riot or rampage.

Increasing settlement of the Ohio Valley aroused Indian resistance. War parties raided outlying villages, burned houses, and drove families away. Two military expeditions against the Indians were shattered by Chief Little Turtle and his Miami warriors. Then, in 1793, Maj. Gen. "Mad Anthony" Wayne took command in the west. He built roads and forts in the Miami Valley, and trained a force of riflemen. On a summer morning in 1794, Wayne routed allied tribesmen, mostly Miami and Shawnee, in the decisive Battle of Fallen Timbers. In the ensuing Treaty of Greenville, Indian leaders surrendered claim to the southern half of Ohio, opening that large domain to uncontested American occupation.

When, in 1800, Connecticut ceded to the United States a strip of land along Lake Erie claimed by its colonial charter and called the Western Reserve, that region became a part of the Northwest Territory. Now the future seemed unclouded, and from the older colonies came a great migration to the promised land. By 1802, Ohio had enough population to seek statehood, and in November, a constitutional convention assembled at Chillicothe. In 25 days and at a total cost of $5,000, the 35 delegates framed a constitution that vested most authority in the state legislature and gave the vote to all white male taxpayers. On 1 March 1803, Ohio joined the Union as the 17th state.

Beyond Ohio's western border, Indians still roamed free. In 1811, the powerful Shawnee chief Tecumseh led a tribal resistance movement (supported by the British) seeking to halt the white man's advance into the new territory and to regain lands already lost to the Americans. Ohio militia regiments led by Gen. William Henry Harrison repulsed an Indian invasion near Toledo in the battle of Tippecanoe on 7 November 1811. Control of Lake Erie and of Great Lakes commerce was at stake when Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry won a decisive naval victory over a British fleet in western Lake Erie during the War of 1812. Tecumseh was slain in the Battle of Thames in Canada on 5 October 1813.

With peace restored in 1815, "Ohio fever" spread through New England. In a great migration, people streamed over the mountains and the lakes to a land of rich soil, mild climate, and beckoning opportunities. Across the Atlantic, especially in England, Ireland, and Germany, thousands of immigrants boarded ship for America. At newly opened land offices, public land was sold at $1.25 an acre. Forest became fields, fields became villages and towns, towns became cities. By 1850, Ohio was the third-most populous state in the Union.

Having cleared millions of acres of forest, Ohioans turned to economic development. Producing more than its people consumed, the state needed transportation routes to eastern markets. The National Road extended across the central counties in the 1830s, carrying stagecoach passengers and wagon commerce from Pennsylvania and Maryland. The Ohio canal system, created between 1825 and 1841, linked the Ohio River and Lake Erie, providing a waterway to the Atlantic via New York's Erie Canal. In 1826, state lands were valued at $16 million; 15 years later, their value exceeded $100 million. The chief products were wheat, corn, pork, beef, salt, wool, and leather. By 1850, when farm and factory production outstripped the capacity of mule teams and canal barges, railroad building had begun. In the next decade, railroads crisscrossed the state.

In 1861, Ohio, like the rest of the nation, was divided. The northern counties, teeming with former New Englanders, were imbued with abolitionist zeal. But Ohio's southern counties had close ties with Virginia and Kentucky across the river. From southeastern Ohio came Clement L. Vallandigham, leader of the Peace Democratscalled Copperheads by their opponentswho defended states' rights, opposed all of President Lincoln's policies, and urged compromise with the Confederacy. While Ohio surpassed its quota by providing a total of 320,000 Union Army volunteers, the Copperhead movement grew strong enough to nominate Vallandigham for state governor in 1863. Responding to the news of Vallandigham's defeat by the rugged Unionist John Brough, Lincoln telegraphed: "Ohio has saved the nation." Ohio became directly involved in the war for two weeks in 1863, when Confederate Gen. John Hunt Morgan led a Kentucky cavalry force on a daring but ineffectual raid through the southern counties.

Ohio gave the Union its greatest generalsUlysses S. Grant, William Tecumseh Sherman, and Philip H. Sheridaneach of whom won decisive victories at crucial times. Also essential to the Union cause was the service of Ohio men in Lincoln's cabinet, including Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase and War Secretary Edwin M. Stanton.

Mid-19th-century Ohio was primarily an agricultural state, but war demands stimulated Ohio manufacturing, and in the decade following the war, the state's industrial products surpassed the value of its rich farm production. The greatest commercial development came in northern Ohio, where heavy industry grew dramatically. To Toledo, Cleveland, and Youngstown via Lake Superior came iron ore that was converted into iron and steel with coal from the Ohio Valley. In the 1870s, John D. Rockefeller of Cleveland organized the Standard Oil Co., which soon controlled oil refining and distribution throughout the nation. At the same time, B. F. Goodrich of Akron began making fire hose, the first rubber product in an industry whose prodigious growth would make Akron the "rubber capital of the world." In the middle of the state, the capital city, Columbus, became a center of the brewing, railroad equipment, and farm implement industries. Cincinnati factories made steamboat boilers, machine tools, meat products, railroad cars, and soap. Dayton became known for its paper products, refrigerators, and cash registers. With industrial growth came political power. In the next half century, Ohio virtually took possession of the White House. Presidents Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, William Howard Taft, and Warren G. Harding were all Ohioans.

The four great business pursuitsagriculture, commerce, mining, and manufacturingwere remarkably balanced in Ohio. Its ethnic strains were various. Following the earlier English, Irish, and German influx came Italian, Czech, Dutch, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Polish, Russian, Serbian, and Ukrainian immigrants, along with a growing number of blacks from the rural South. Thus Ohio provided an advantageous background for a president; to any segment of the nation, an Ohio candidate did not seem alien. In the 1920 campaign, both the Republican and Democratic nomineesHarding and James M. Coxwere Ohio men. Norman Thomas, a perennial Socialist candidate, was likewise an Ohioan.

During World War I, Ohio's heavy industry expanded and its cities grew. Progressivism developed in Toledo and Cleveland, under their respective mayors, Samuel M. "Golden Rule" Jones and Tom L. Johnson, whose reforms resulted in the city-manager form of government that spread to other Ohio cities. In the postwar 1920s, Ohio's oil, rubber, and glass industries kept pace with accelerating automobile production. Yet none of these industries was immune to the prolonged depression of the 1930s. Widespread unemployment and a stagnant economy were not relieved until the outbreak of World War II. The war swept 641,000 Ohioans into military service and gave Ohio industry military contracts totaling $18 billion.

The state's economy prospered after World War II, with highway building, truck and tractor production, aircraft manufacture, and airport construction leading the field. The completion of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959 made active international ports of Toledo and Cleveland. Major problems during this period involved pollution created by the dumping of industrial wastes (especially in Lake Erie) and urban decay resulting from the departure of middle-class families to the suburbs, an exodus that left the central cities to growing numbers of the poor and underprivileged. Related to these problems were troubles in the Ohio school system. Deteriorating neighborhoods produced inadequate revenues for schools and public services, and attempts at racial integration brought controversy and disturbance. When political offices were won by minority leadersin 1967, for example, Carl Stokes of Cleveland became the first black mayor of any major US cityfriction and tension continued. A further shock to Ohioans was the May 1970 shooting of 13 Kent State University students, four of whom died, by national guardsmen who had been sent to the campus to preserve order during a series of demonstrations against US involvement in Vietnam.

During the early 1980s, Ohio was still beset by serious social and economic problems. While the state's population remained static, the unemployment rate in 1982 and 1983 reached 14%. A decline in manufacturing jobs was only partly offset by the employment brought by a growing service sector. In 1983, the state established the Thomas Edison Program to provide start-up companies with venture capital funds. The legislation helped jump-start the state's economy. But by the end of the 1980s, economic progress slowed again. Unemployment rose in the recession of the early 1990s, reaching 6.9% in 1992. Within two years, as part of a national recovery, it had rebounded to 4.9%. In March 1995, Ohio was the site of the largest work stoppage in the auto industry in a quarter century, when almost 178,000 employees were laid offin response to a 17-day strike by auto workers at two General Motors plants in Dayton. In 1999 the economy was holding steady with an unemployment rate of 4.3%, in line with the national average. In July 2003, the unemployment rate stood at 6.2%, again on par with the national average. Ohio's unemployment rate stood at 5.8% in September 2005, above the national average of 5.1%. Ohio continued to experience job losses in a national economy that had just begun to recover from the 2001 recession.

Hunger and homelessness were on the rise in the late 1990s and early 2000s. A 1999 report by the Ohio Hunger Task Force found that nearly one million children in low-income family faced hunger, while the Coalition on Homelessness and Housing reported that need for emergency shelters for families had grown, stretching resources in the state's 10 largest counties.

In January 1999, newly elected Governor Robert Taft, the great grandson of President William Howard Taft, took office. His administration moved quickly to address the problem highlighted in a 1996 federal study that revealed the state had the worst school facilities in the nation. His plan to spend $23 billion on school repairs over 12 years was boosted in November 1999 by voters who approved Issue 1, a ballot initiative allowing Ohio to borrow money less expensively for school construction. The governor was also pushing for tougher gun control.

Conservancy programs at the state level encompassed the watersheds of the Muskingum and Miami rivers, which became models for such undertakings in other states in the 1980s. Pollution in Lake Erie, where poor water conditions had made national headlines, was successfully reversed through a coalition of government efforts. By the end of the 1990s, the state was viewed as a national leader in improving waterways. But, as the Environmental Protection Agency lined up partners to clean up the Cuyahoga River, Ohio still faced serious environmental threats. A study released in 2000 indicated air pollution in the Ohio River Valley was worse than that on the nation's East Coast. It was reported earlier that rain contaminated with mercury from coal-fired electric plants was polluting Midwest lakes and rivers. In 2000 the EPA released a study citing the state for failing to meet tighter federal ozone limits. Illegal dumping also posed a persistent problem, with an estimated 30 to 40 million tires having been unlawfully deposited at nearly 100 sites around the state.

In 2000 the state remained among the most populous in the nation, with its more than 11.3 million people giving it a rank of seventh among the states.

Ohio was one of the states affected by the 14 August 2003 massive power blackout in Canada, the Northeast and Midwestern states. The largest electrical outage in US history affected 9,300 square miles and a population of over 50 million. An initial power failure in Ohio was later found to be the trigger for the outage. Many areas of Cleveland were without safe drinking water for a number of days.

Ohio remained at the center of the nation's presidential politics in 2004: President George W. Bush narrowly defeated John Kerry in Ohio by less than 120,000 votes, which swung the election for him. Ohio politics in 2005 were also the subject of controversy. Beginning in April 2005, the Toledo Blade newspaper began publishing a series of stories revealing that Toledo coin dealer Tom Noe, chair of the Bush-Cheney campaign for Lucas County, was investing $50 million for the state through coin speculation: buying and selling rare coins to turn a profit. Noe could not account for $10-13 million in the fund. Noe had also been placed under federal investigation for money launderingperhaps state moneyto the Bush campaign. The "coingate" scandal was complicated further by the fact that a Blade reporter with close ties to the Republican Party reportedly knew about Noe's campaign violations in early 2004, but suppressed the information. The publisher and editor-in-chief of the Blade held that if the "coingate" scandal had become public knowledge before the November election, Kerry would have won Ohio and won the presidency. Republican governor Bob Taft was the subject of a scandal in 2005 in which he pleaded no contest to accepting certain giftsincluding from Noewithout reporting them, as required by law.

In the November 2004 election, Ohio voters approved by initiative petition an amendment to the Ohio constitution that adopted a section declaring a valid and recognized marriage to be between one man and one woman only.

STATE GOVERNMENT

The Ohio constitution of 1803 was replaced by a second constitution in 1851. Amendments proposed by a constitutional convention in 1912 and subsequently approved by the voters so heavily revised the 1851 constitution as to make it virtually a new document. This modified constitution, with subsequent amendments (a total of 161 by January 2005), provides for county and municipal home rule, direct primary elections, recall of elected officials, and constitutional amendments by initiative and referendum.

Ohio's General Assembly consists of a 99-member House of Representatives, elected for two years, and a Senate of 33 members serving four-year terms (half the members are chosen every two years). Regular sessions of the legislature convene the first Monday in January of each year and are not formally limited in length. The presiding officers of both houses may issue a joint call to convene a special session. Legislators must be at least 18 years old, have lived in their districts for at least one year, and be qualified voters. The legislative salary was $54,942 in 2004. Each house may introduce legislation, and both houses must approve a bill before it can be signed into law by the governor. The governor's veto of a bill can be overridden by three-fifths majority votes of the elected members of each houses. Bills not signed or vetoed by the governor become law after 10 days.

Officials elected statewide are the governor and lieutenant governor (elected jointly), secretary of state, attorney general, auditor, and treasurer, all of whom serve four-year terms. (Eleven members of the state Board of Education are elected; six are appointed: all serve four-year terms.) Effective in 1959, a constitutional amendment changed the governor's term from two to four years and forbade a governor from serving more than two successive terms. The governor appoints the heads of executive departments, as well as the adjutant general and members of most statutory boards. Candidates for governor must be 18 years old, US citizens, qualified voters, and state residents. As of December 2004, the governor's salary was $126,485.

The constitution may be amended legislatively by a three-fifths vote of each house; the proposed amendment must then receive majority approval by the voters at the next general election. Amendments may also be proposed by petition of 10% of the electors who voted for governor in the last general election; a majority vote in a subsequent referendum is required for passage.

The constitution provides that every 20 years (from 1932 onward), the voters must be given the chance to choose whether a constitutional convention should be held. Voters rejected this option in 1932, 1952, 1972, and again in 1992.

To vote in Ohio, one must be a US citizen, at least 18 years old, and have been a state resident for at least 30 days prior to election day. Restrictions apply to convicted felons and those declared mentally incompetent by the court.

POLITICAL PARTIES

Ohio has sent seven native sons and one other state resident to the White Houseequaling Virginia as the "mother of presidents." The state's two major political parties, Democratic and Republican, have dominated the political scene since 1856.

Ohioans scattered their votes among various political factions until 1836, when they rallied behind state resident William Henry Harrison and the Whig Party; they again supported Harrison in 1840, helping him win his second bid for the presidency. Whigs

and Democrats divided the votes in 1844, 1848, and 1852; in 1856, however, Ohio supported the newly formed Republican Party, and after the Civil War, seven of the country's next 12 presidents were Ohio-born Republicans, beginning with Grant and ending with Harding. From 1856 to 1996, Ohioans voted for the Republican candidate in all presidential elections except those in which the following six Democrats were elected: Woodrow Wilson (twice), Franklin D. Roosevelt (three times), Harry S. Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton (twice). In 1920, when the presidential candidates of both major parties were Ohioans, the Republican, Warren G. Harding, carried Ohio as well as the nation.

Political bossism flourished in Ohio during the last quarter of the 19th century, when the state government was controlled by Republicans Mark Hanna in Cleveland and George B. Cox in Cincinnati. Hanna played an influential role in Republican national politics; in 1896, his handpicked candidate, William McKinley, was elected to the presidency. But the despotism of the bosses and the widespread corruption in city governments led to public demands for reform. In Toledo, a reform mayor, Samuel "Golden Rule" Jones, began to clean house in 1897. Four years later, another group of reformers, led by Mayor Tom L. Johnson, ousted the Hanna machine and instituted honest government in Cleveland. At the time, journalist Lincoln Steffens called Cleveland "the best-governed city in the United States" and Cincinnati "the worst." The era of bossism ended for Cincinnati in 1905, when the voters overthrew the Cox machine, elected a reform mayor on a fusion ticket, and instituted reforms that in 1925 made Cincinnati the first major US city with a nonpartisan city-manager form of government.

With the decline of big-city political machines, ticket splitting has become a regular practice among Ohio voters in state and local contests. Governor Frank J. Lausche, a Democrat, was elected to an unprecedented five two-year terms (194547, 194957), and Republican James A. Rhodes served four four-year terms (196371, 197583). In 1982, Ohioans elected a Democratic governor, Richard F. Celeste, and Democrats swept all state offices and won control of both houses of the state legislature. Republican George Voinovich won the governorship in 1990 and again in 1994. In 1998 elections, Republican candidate Bob Taft won the governor's office; he was reelected in 2002. In 2005 the Republicans also dominated the state Senate (22 seats as opposed to the Democrats' 11), and the state House, which had 61 Republicans and 38 Democrats.

Following November 2004 elections, there were 6 Democrats and 12 Republicans serving as US Representatives. In 1992 both Ohio senatorsJohn Glenn, elected to a fourth term in 1992, and Howard Metzenbaum, elected to a third term in 1988were Democrats. However, in 1994 Metzenbaum retired and a Republican, Mike DeWine, took the seat (he was reelected in 2000). In 1998, the seat held by retiring Senator John Glenn was won by former Ohio governor, Republican George Voinovich.

In general, third parties have fared poorly in Ohio since 1856. Exceptions were the 1968 presidential election, in which American Independent Party candidate George Wallace garnered nearly 12% of Ohio's popular vote, and the 1992 presidential election, when Independent Ross Perot captured 21% of the vote. A more typical voting pattern was displayed in the 1976 presidential election when the two major parties together received 97.7% of the total votes cast, and only 2.3% of the votes were split among minor parties and independents. In 2000, independent candidate Ralph Nader took 3% of the vote, and independent candidate Pat Buchanan won 1%.

The result was not nearly so close in 1980, when Ronald Reagan, the Republican presidential nominee, won 51% of the popular vote to 41% for Jimmy Carter (with 6% going to John Anderson and 2% to minor party candidates), or in 1984, when Reagan won 59% of the popular vote to defeat Walter Mondale in the state. Republican George Bush won 55% of the vote in 1988. In 1992, however, Bush lost the state to Democratic nominee Bill Clinton, who captured 40% of the vote to Bush's 38%. In 1996, Clinton won 47% of the vote, Republican Bob Dole won 41%, and Independent Ross Perot received 11%. In 2000, Republican George W. Bush won 50% of the vote to Democrat Al Gore's 46%. In 2004, Bush increased his support slightly, to take 51% of the vote to John Kerry's 48.5%. In 2002 there were 7,973,000 registered voters. In 1998, 17% of registered voters were Democratic, 18% Republican, and 65% unaffiliated or members of other parties. The state had 20 electoral votes in the 2004 presidential election, a loss of 1 vote over 2000.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT

As of 2005, local government in Ohio is exercised by 88 counties, 942 municipal governments, 662 public school districts, and 631 special districts. In 2002, there were 1,308 townships.

Each county is administered by a board of commissioners, elected to four-year terms, whose authority is limited by state law. The county government is run by officials elected to four-year terms: auditor or financial officer, clerk of courts, coroner, engineer, prosecuting attorney, recorder, sheriff, and treasurer.

Within each county are incorporated areas with limited authority to govern their own affairs. Thirty voters in an area may request incorporation of the community as a village. A village reaching the population of 5,000 automatically becomes a city, which by law must establish executive and legislative bodies. There are three types of city government: the mayor-council plan, which is the form adopted by a majority of the state's cities; the city-manager form, under which the city council appoints a professional manager to conduct nonpartisan government operations; and the commission type, in which a board of elected commissioners administers the city government. In practice, most large cities have adopted a home-rule charter that permits them to select the form of government best suited to their requirements.

Cleveland experimented with the city-manager form of government from 1924 to 1932, at which time public disclosures of municipal corruption led the city's voters to return to the mayor-council plan. In 1967, Cleveland became the first major US city to elect a black mayor; Carl Stokes served two two-year terms but retired from politics in 1971. Cleveland again attracted national attention in 1978 when its 31-year-old mayor, Dennis J. Kucinich, publicly disputed the city's financial policies with members of the city council, and the city defaulted on $15 million in bank loans. Mayor Kucinich narrowly survived a recall election; in 1979, he was defeated for reelection.

Cincinnati has retained the city-manager form of government since 1925. The mayor, elected by the city council from among its members, has no administrative duties. Instead, the council ap-points a city manager to a term as chief executive. Columbus, the state capital since 1816, has a mayor-council form of government.

Townships are governed by three trustees and a clerk, all elected to staggered four-year terms. These elected officials oversee zoning ordinances, parks, road maintenance, fire protection, and other matters within their jurisdiction.

In 2005, local government accounted for about 484,096 fulltime (or equivalent) employment positions.

STATE SERVICES

To address the continuing threat of terrorism and to work with the federal Department of Homeland Security, homeland security in Ohio operates under the authority of the governor; the state police superintendent is designated as the state homeland security advisor.

The State Department of Education administers every phase of public school operations, including counseling and testing services, the federal school lunch program, and teacher education and certification. The department also oversees special schools for the blind and deaf. The department's chief administrator is the superintendent of public instruction.

Health and welfare services are provided by several departments. The Department of Health issues and enforces health and sanitary regulations. Violations of health rules are reviewed by a Public Health Council of seven members, including three physicians and a pharmacist. The Department of Mental Health administers mental health institutions; develops diagnostic, prevention, and rehabilitation programs; and trains mental health professionals. The Department of Job and Family Services helps the poor through TANF (temporary assistance to needy families), food stamps, and Medicaid. The Bureau of Workers' Compensation and the Division of Labor and Worker Safety administer labor benefit programs.

Public protection services include those of the State Highway Patrol and the Bureau of Motor Vehicles, both within the Department of Public Safety; the Department of Rehabilitation and Correction, which operates penal institutions; the Department of Youth Services, which administers juvenile correction centers; and the Environmental Protection Agency.

JUDICIAL SYSTEM

The Supreme Court of Ohio, the highest court in the state, reviews proceedings of the lower courts and of state agencies. The high court has a chief justice and six associate justices elected to six-year terms. Below the Supreme Court are 12 courts of appeals, which exercise jurisdiction over their respective judicial districts. Each court has at least three judges elected to six-year terms. The district that includes Cleveland has nine appeals court judges, while the Cincinnati district has six.

Trial courts include 88 courts of common pleas, one in each county. Judges are elected to six-year terms. Probate courts, domestic relations courts, and juvenile courts often function as divisions of the common pleas courts. In 1957, a system of county courts was established by the legislature to replace justices of the peace and mayor's courts at the local level. Large cities have their own municipal, juvenile, and police courts.

As of 31 December 2004, a total of 44,806 prisoners were held in Ohio's state and federal prisons, an increase from 44,778 of 0.1% from the previous year. As of year-end 2004, a total of 3,185 inmates were female, up from 2,897 or 9.9% from the year before. Among sentenced prisoners (one year or more), Ohio had an incarceration rate of 391 per 100,000 population in 2004.

According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Ohio in 2004, had a violent crime rate (murder/nonnegligent manslaughter; forcible rape; robbery; aggravated assault) of 341.8 reported incidents per 100,000 population, or a total of 39,163 reported incidents. Crimes against property (burglary; larceny/theft; and motor vehicle theft) in that same year totaled 420,910 reported incidents or 3,673.2 reported incidents per 100,000 people. Ohio has a death penalty, of which lethal injection is the sole method of execution. From 1976 through 5 May 2006, the state has carried out 21 executions, including four in 2005 and two in 2006 (as of 5 May). As of 1 January 2006, Ohio had 196 inmates on death row.

In 2003, Ohio spent $278,109,346 on homeland security, an average of $24 per state resident.

ARMED FORCES

In 2004, there were 7,211 active-duty military personnel and 21,704 civilian personnel stationed in Ohio, the vast majority of whom were at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton. Wright-Patterson AFB is one of the largest and most important bases in the United States Air Force and houses the National Museum of the United States Air Force. In 2004, it had a workforce numbering approximately 17,000 people including nearly 10,000 civilians, making it the one of the largest employers in the state of Ohio and the largest employer at a single location. In 2004, the Defense Department awarded over $4.6 billion in defense contracts to Ohio companies. Additionally, defense payroll outlays were $2.89 billion.

In 2003, Ohio had 1,051,007 living veterans, of whom 158,697 had served in World War II; 121,342 during the Korean conflict; 320,046 during the Vietnam era; and 145,893 during the Persian Gulf War. In 2004, the Veterans Administration expended more than $2.1 billion in pensions, medical assistance, and other major veterans' benefits.

As of 31 October 2004, the Ohio State Highway Patrol employed 1,481 full-time sworn officers.

MIGRATION

After the Ohio country became a US territory in 1785, Virginians, Connecticut Yankees, and New Jerseyites began arriving in significant numbers; tens of thousands of settlers from New England, Pennsylvania, and some southern states thronged into Ohio in subsequent decades. The great migration from the eastern states continued throughout most of the 19th century, and was bolstered by new arrivals from Europe. The Irish came in the 1830s, and many Germans began arriving in the 1840s. Another wave of European immigration brought about 500,000 people a year to Ohio during the 1880s, many of them from southern and eastern Europe. Former slaves left the South for Ohio following the Civil War, and a larger migratory wave brought blacks to Ohio after World War II to work in the industrial cities. In the 1910s, many emigrants from Greece, Albania, and Latvia settled in Akron to work in the rubber industry.

The industrialization of Ohio in the late 19th and the 20th centuries encouraged the migration of Ohioans from the farms to the cities. The large number of Ohioans who lived in rural areas and worked on farms declined steadily after 1900, with the farm population decreasing to under 1,000,000 during World War II and then to fewer than 400,000 by 1979. A more recent development has been the exodus of urbanites from Ohio's largest cities. From 1970 to 1990, Cleveland lost 245,000 residents, Cincinnati 90,000, Dayton 61,000, Akron 52,000, and Toledo 50,000. Columbus was the only major city to gain residents93,000during this period. Ohio lost more than one million people through migration during the period 197083. Net migration loss for the state from 1985 to 1990 came to 72,000. Between 1990 and 1998, Ohio had a net loss of 144,000 in domestic migration and a net gain of 48,000 in international migration. In 1998, 7,697 foreign immigrants arrived in Ohio; of these, the greatest number, 900, came from India. The state's overall population increased 3.3% between 1990 and 1998. In the period 200005, net international migration was 75,142 and net internal migration was -177,150, for a net loss of 102,008 people.

INTERGOVERNMENTAL COOPERATION

The Ohio Commission on Interstate Cooperation represents the state in dealings with the Council of State Governments and its allied organizations. Ohio is a signatory to interstate compacts covering the Ohio River Valley, Pymatuning Reservoir, and the Great Lakes Basin, including the Great Lakes Charter signed in February 1985. The state also participates in the Interstate Mining Compact Commission, the Appalachian Regional Commission, the Midwest Interstate Low-Level Radioactive Waste Compact Commission, the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact, and other compacts. Federal grants to Ohio exceeded $13.734 billion in fiscal year 2005, an estimated $14.011 billion in fiscal year 2006, and an estimated $14.301 billion in fiscal year 2007.

ECONOMY

Ohio's economy has shown remarkable balance over the years. In the mid-19th century, Ohio became a leader in agriculture, ranking first among the states in wheat production in 1840, and first in corn and wool by 1850. With industrialization, Ohio ranked fourth in value added by manufacturing in 1900.

Coal mining in the southeastern part of the state and easy access to Minnesota's iron ore via the Great Lakes contributed to the growth of the iron and steel industry in the Cleveland-Youngstown area. Ohio led the nation in the manufacture of machine tools and placed second among the states in steel production in the early 1900s. Automobile manufacturing and other new industries developed after World War I. Hit hard by the depression of the 1930s, the state diversified its industrial foundation and enjoyed prosperity during and after World War II, as its population increased and its income grew.

In the 1970s, however, growth began to lag. By 1980, per capita income in Ohio had fallen well behind the national average. While the gross national product in constant dollars grew 99% from 1960 to 1980, the gross state product expanded only 66%. Manufacturing, which traditionally accounted for more than one-third of the gross state product, was shrinking, as demand for durable goods declined. Manufacturing employment peaked at 1.4 million in 1969; by 1982, the total was down to 1.1 million, and it was believed that many of these jobs would be permanently lost because of a reorientation of Ohio's economy from manufacturing toward services. With unemployment reaching peak levels, the state was forced to borrow from the federal government to fund the soaring cost of unemployment benefits.

Steel was produced primarily in Youngstown, automotive and aircraft parts in Cleveland, automobile tires and other rubber products in Akron, and office equipment in Dayton. Recessionary trends in 1980 led to the closing of a US Steel plant in Youngstown and of two Firestone tire and rubber factories in the Akron area, and to widespread layoffs in the auto parts industry. This bad economic news was partially offset when in 1983 the Honda Motor Co. opened Japan's first US automobile assembly plant at Marysville near Columbus, where Honda had already been manufacturing motorcycles. Honda suppliers also began establishing plants in the state.

Despite its shrinking size, manufacturing remains dominant in Ohio's economy. The sector centers on durable goods. Among manufacturers, transportation equipment and industrial machinery are the largest employers. Both durable and nondurable goods (instruments, chemicals, printing and lumber) enjoyed the greatest gains in employment between 1987 and 1993. However, durable goods' share of the gross state product, particularly primary metals, motor vehicles, and industrial machinery, fell 4.5% between 1977 and 1990 while nondurable goods industries' share of the gross state product remained constant and services, particularly business services, increased their share by 2.5%. In 2002, durable goods made up two-thirds of Ohio's manufacturing output. Output from Ohio's manufacturing sector peaked in 1998 at approximately $90.4 billion (about 26.1% of gross state product), and had fallen 11.9% by 2001, including a 7.1% dip in the national recession of 2001. Output from manufacturing in 2001 constituted only 21.3% of gross state product. The fall in manufacturing output helped bring down the state's annual growth rates down from 6.5% in 1998 to an average of 3.3% 19992000, and then to 0.83% in 2001. In 2002, Ohio lagged the rest of the nation in employment performance because of significant losses in manufacturing, employing 18% of the state's labor force. Employment losses were sharpest among manufacturers of durable goods (which make up two-thirds of Ohio's manufactures), falling 8.4% between the fourth quarter of 2000 and the fourth quarter of 2002. Ohio's recovery hinges on recovery in its durable manufacturing sector.

In 2004, Ohio's gross state product (GSP) was $419.866 billion, of which manufacturing (durable and nondurable goods) contributed $84.597 billion or 20.1% of GSP, followed by the real estate sector at $44.588 billion (10.6% of GSP), and health care and social assistance services at $33.201 billion (7.9% of GSP). In that same year, there were an estimated 850,961 small businesses in Ohio. Of the 231,374 businesses that had employees, an estimated total of 227,339 or 98.3% were small companies. An estimated 22,725 new businesses were established in the state in 2004, up 2.2% from the year before. Business terminations that same year came to 21,328, down 9.4% from 2003. There were 1,432 business bankruptcies in 2004, up 0.4% from the previous year. In 2005, the state's personal bankruptcy (Chapter 7 and Chapter 13) filing rate was 774 filings per 100,000 people, ranking Ohio as the eighth-highest in the nation.

INCOME

In 2005 Ohio had a gross state product (GSP) of $442 billion which accounted for 3.6% of the nation's gross domestic product and placed the state at number 7 in highest GSP among the 50 states and the District of Columbia.

According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, in 2004 Ohio had a per capita personal income (PCPI) of $31,161. This ranked 26th in the United States and was 94% of the national average of $33,050. The 19942004 average annual growth rate of PCPI was 3.7%. Ohio had a total personal income (TPI) of $356,795,912,000, which ranked eighth in the United States and reflected an increase of 4.2% from 2003. The 19942004 average annual growth rate of TPI was 4.0%. Earnings of persons employed in Ohio increased from $263,241,162,000 in 2003 to $274,175,471,000 in 2004, an increase of 4.2%. The 200304 national change was 6.3%.

The US Census Bureau reports that the three-year average median household income for 200204 in 2004 dollars was $44,160 compared to a national average of $44,473. During the same period an estimated 10.8% of the population was below the poverty line as compared to 12.4% nationwide.

LABOR

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in April 2006 the seasonally adjusted civilian labor force in Ohio numbered 5,927,300, with approximately 326,900 workers unemployed, yielding an unemployment rate of 5.5%, compared to the national average of 4.7% for the same period. Preliminary data for the same period placed nonfarm employment at 5,460,800. Since the beginning of the BLS data series in 1976, the highest unemployment rate recorded in Ohio was 13.8% in January 1983. The historical low was 3.9% in March 2001. Preliminary nonfarm employment data by occupation for April 2006 showed that approximately 4.3% of the labor force was employed in construction; 14.8 in manufacturing; 19.1% in trade, transportation, and public utilities; 5.7% in financial activities; 11.9% in professional and business services; 14.1% in education and health services; 9.3% in leisure and hospitality services; and 14.5% in government.

The first workers' organization in Ohio was formed by Dayton mechanics in 1811. The Ohio Federation of Labor was founded in 1884; the American Federation of Labor (AFL) was founded in Columbus in 1886, and Ohio native William Green became president of the AFL in 1924. But it was not until the 1930s that labor unions in Ohio were formed on a large scale. In 1934, the United Rubber Workers began to organize workers in Akron; through a successful series of sit-down strikes at the city's rubber plants, the union grew to about 70,000 members by 1937. In that year, the United Steelworkers struck seven steel plants in the Youngstown area and won the right to bargain collectively for 50,000 steelworkers. The number of union members increased from about 25% of the state's non-farm employees in 1939 to 32% in 1980 when about 1.4 million workers belonged to labor organizations.

Progressive labor legislation in the state began in 1852 with laws regulating working hours for women and children and limiting men to a 10-hour workday. In 1890, Ohio became the first state to establish a public employment service. Subsequent labor legislation included a workers' compensation act in 1911 and child labor and minimum wage measures in the 1930s. In 1983, a law was passed giving public employees, other than police officers and fire fighters, a limited right to strike.

The US Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in 2005, a total of 804,000 of Ohio's 5,039,000 employed wage and salary workers were formal members of a union. This represented 16% of those so employed, up from 15.2% in 2004, and above the national average of 12%. Overall in 2005, a total of 866,000 workers (17.2%) in Ohio were covered by a union or employee association contract, which includes those workers who reported no union affiliation. Ohio is one of 28 states that do not have a right-to-work law.

As of 1 March 2006, Ohio had a state-mandated minimum wage rate of $5.15 per hour. In 2004, women in the state accounted for 40.1% of the employed civilian labor force.

AGRICULTURE

Despite increasing urbanization and industrialization, agriculture retains its economic importance. Ohio ranked 17th in net farm income among the 50 states in 2005. In that year, the state's production of crops, dairy products, and livestock was valued at nearly $5.1 billion.

The number of farms in 2004 was 77,300, down from 234,000 in 1940. The average size of farms increased from 94 acres (38 hectares) in 1940 to 189 acres (76 hectares) in 2004.

Grain is grown and cattle and hogs are raised on large farms in the north-central and western parts of the state, while smaller farms predominate in the hilly southeastern region. Truck farming has continued to expand near the large cities.

Ohio was the third-leading producer of tomatoes for processing in 2004 with 177,320 tons. Field crops in 2004 (in bushels) included corn for grain, 491,380,000; soybeans, 207,740,000; wheat, 55,180,000; and oats, 3,150,000. The most valuable crops included soybeans, with sales of $1.2 billion, and corn, $1.0 billion. These two crops accounted for 41% of Ohio's farm receipts in 2004. Ohio farmers also produced 3,232,000 tons of hay and 34,000 tons of sugar beets in 2004.

ANIMAL HUSBANDRY

Cattle and hogs are raised in the central and western regions. In 2005, Ohio had 1.3 million cattle and calves, worth over $1.2 billion. In 2004, Ohio farmers had 1.5 million hogs and pigs, valued at $159.5 million. During 2003, Ohio farmers produced nearly 12.9 million lb (5.8 million kg) of sheep and lambs.

Dairying is common in most regions of the state, but especially in the east and southeast. In 2003, Ohio's 260,000 milk cows produced 4.5 billion lb (2 billion kg) of milk. The poultry industry is dispersed throughout the state. Ohio ranked second among the states in production of eggs with 7.6 billion eggs in 2003. Poultry farmers in Ohio also produced 212.3 million lb (96.5 million kg) of turkey and sold 225.5 million lb (102.3 million kg) of broilers worth $78.9 million in 2003.

FISHING

Commercial fishing, which once flourished in Lake Erie, has declined during the 20th century. In 2004, commercial fish landings brought about 3.9 million lb (1.8 million kg) valued at $2.9 mil-lion. The primary Lake Erie fish species are walleye, perch, lake trout, and small mouth bass. In 2001, the commercial fleet had 31 vessels and 19 boats.

A statewide fish hatchery system (of six locations) annually produces and stocks up to 30 million fry and yearling size fishmostly walleye, saugeye, trout, catfish, bass, sunfish, muskellunge, and pike. In 2004, the state issued 917,902 sport fishing licenses.

FORESTRY

In 2003, Ohio had 7,855,000 acres (3,179,000 hectares) of forest-land, representing 30% of the state's total land area, but only 1% of all US forests. Although scattered throughout the state, hardwood forests are concentrated in the hilly region of the southeast. Lawrence and Vinton counties are more than 70% forested. Commercial timberlands in 2002 totaled 7,568,000 acres (3,063,000 hectares), of which over 90% was privately owned.

The state's lumber and wood products industry supplies building materials, household furniture, and paper products. In 2004, total lumber production was 379 million board feet. In 2002 there were about 690,000 acres (279,000 hectares) of federal, state, county, and municipal forestland in Ohio.

MINING

According to preliminary data from the US Geological Survey (USGS), the estimated value of nonfuel mineral production by Ohio in 2003 was $968 million, down slightly from 2002. The USGS data ranked Ohio as 15th among the 50 states by the total value of its nonfuel mineral production, accounting for around 2.5% of total US output.

According to the preliminary data for 2003, crushed stone, followed by construction sand and gravel, salt, lime, cement (port-land and masonry), and industrial sand and gravel were the state's top nonfuel minerals by value. Crushed stone and construction sand and gravel accounted for around 57% of all nonfuel mineral output, by value. Ohio in 2003 was the nation's third leading producer by volume of fire clay, fourth in the production of salt and lime, fifth in construction sand and gravel and common clays, and tenth in industrial sand and gravel.

Preliminary data for 2003 showed that a total of 68.8 million metric tons of crushed stone were produced, with a value of $310 million, while construction sand and gravel output totaled 47 million metric tons, and was valued at $242 million. Lime production that same year was 1.7 million metric tons, and was worth $110 million.

Ohio's mines produced only coal and industrial minerals. Metals production came from materials received from other states or foreign sources. Ohio ranked second in 2003 in the production of raw steel, for which output that year totaled 11.9 million metric tons.

ENERGY AND POWER

Ohio has abundant energy resources. The state government estimates that Ohio's coal reserves are sufficient to meet demand for 500 years and that oil and natural gas reserves are also ample.

As of 2003, Ohio had 136 electrical power service providers, of which 85 were publicly owned and 25 were cooperatives. Of the remainder, nine were investor owned, one was the owner of an independent generator that sold directly to customers, 10 were generation-only suppliers and six were delivery-only providers. As of that same year there were 5,397,308 retail customers. Of that total, 3,751,772 received their power from investor-owned service providers. Cooperatives accounted for 358,050 customers, while publicly owned providers had 370,524 customers. There was one independent generator or "facility" customer, and 916,961 generation-only customers. There was no data on the number of delivery-only customers.

Total net summer generating capability by the state's electrical generating plants in 2003 stood at 34.060 million kW, with total production that same year at 146.638 billion kWh. Of the total amount generated, 94.8% came from electric utilities, with the remainder coming from independent producers and combined heat and power service providers. The largest portion of all electric power generated, 134.769 billion kWh (91.9%), came from coalfired plants, with nuclear power generation plants in second place at 8.475 billion kWh (5.8%) and natural gas fueled plants in third at 1.793 billion kWh (1.2%). Other renewable power sources accounted for 0.3% of all power generated. Petroleum fired plants, hydroelectric generation and plants using other types of gases accounted for the remainder.

As of 2006, Ohio had two operating nuclear power plants: the Davis-Besse plant in Oak Harbor; and the Perry plant in Lake County, near Cleveland.

In the 1880s, petroleum was discovered near Lima and natural gas near Toledo, both in the northwest. These fossil fuels have since been found and exploited in the central and eastern regions. As of 2004, Ohio had proven crude oil reserves of 49 million barrels, or less than 1% of all proven US reserves, while output that same year averaged 16,000 barrels per day. Including federal offshore domains, the state that year ranked 20th (19th excluding federal offshore) in proven reserves and 19th (20th excluding federal offshore) in production among the 31 producing states. In 2004 Ohio had 28,941 producing oil wells and accounted for under 1% of all US production. As of 2005, the state's four refineries had a combined crude oil distillation capacity of 551,400 barrels per day.

In 2004, Ohio had 33,828 producing natural gas and gas condensate wells. In that same year, marketed gas production (all gas produced excluding gas used for repressuring, vented and flared, and nonhydrocarbon gases removed) totaled 93.641 billion cu ft (2.65 billion cu m). As of 31 December 2004, proven reserves of dry or consumer-grade natural gas totaled 974 billion cu ft (27.66 billion cu m). A potential energy source is the rich bed of shale rock, underlying more than half of Ohio, which was estimated to contain more than 200 trillion cu ft (5.7 trillion cu m) of natural gas. But much research is needed before the gas can be extracted economically.

Coalfields lie beneath southeastern Ohio, particularly in Hocking, Athens, and Perry counties. In 2004, Ohio had 52 producing coal mines, 44 of which were surface operations and eight were underground. Coal production that year totaled 23,222,000 short tons, up from 22,009,000 short tons in 2003. Of the total produced in 2004, underground mines accounted for 14,270,000 short tons. Recoverable coal reserves in 2004 totaled 318 million short tons. One short ton equals 2,000 lb (0.907 metric tons).

INDUSTRY

Ohio has been a leading manufacturing state since the mid-1800s. During the last two decades of the 20th century, Ohio became the nation's leader in machine-tool manufacturing, the second-leading steel producer, and a pioneer in oil refining and in the production of automobiles and automotive parts, such as rubber tires.

In recent decades, Ohio has also become important as a manufacturer of glassware, soap, matches, paint, business machines, refrigeratorsand even comic books and Chinese food products.

According to the US Census Bureau's Annual Survey of Manufactures (ASM) for 2004, Ohio's manufacturing sector covered some 21 product subsectors. The shipment value of all products manufactured in the state that same year was $258.799 billion. Of that total, transportation equipment manufacturing accounted for the largest share at $77.937 billion. It was followed by fabricated metal product manufacturing at $24.634 billion; chemical manufacturing at $22.736 billion; food manufacturing at $21.156 billion; and primary metal manufacturing at $20.363 billion.

In 2004, a total of 782,617 people in Ohio were employed in the state's manufacturing sector, according to the ASM. Of that total, 570,149 were actual production workers. In terms of total employment, the transportation equipment manufacturing industry accounted for the largest portion of all manufacturing employees at 138,306, with 108,070 actual production workers. It was followed by fabricated metal product manufacturing at 120,011 employees (90,874 actual production workers); plastics and rubber products manufacturing at 80,830 employees (62,397 actual production workers); machinery manufacturing at 75,954 employees (46,117 actual production workers); and food manufacturing with 51,607 employees (37,247 actual production workers).

ASM data for 2004 showed that Ohio's manufacturing sector paid $34.503 billion in wages. Of that amount, the transportation equipment manufacturing sector accounted for the largest share at $8.042 billion. It was followed by fabricated metal product manufacturing at $4.868 billion; machinery manufacturing at $3.392 billion; plastics and rubber products manufacturing at $2.924 billion; and primary metal manufacturing at $2.580 billion.

COMMERCE

Ohio is a major commercial state. According to the 2002 Census of Wholesale Trade, Ohio's wholesale trade sector had sales that year totaling $166.4 billion from 16,000 establishments. Wholesalers of durable goods accounted for 10,149 establishments, followed by nondurable goods wholesalers at 4,316 and electronic markets, agents, and brokers accounting for 1,535 establishments. Sales by durable goods wholesalers in 2002 totaled $78.5 billion, while wholesalers of nondurable goods saw sales of $70.04 billion. Electronic markets, agents, and brokers in the wholesale trade industry had sales of $17.8 billion.

In the 2002 Census of Retail Trade, Ohio was listed as having 42,280 retail establishments with sales of $119.7 billion. The leading types of retail businesses by number of establishments were: food and beverage stores (5,757); clothing and clothing accessories stores (5,139); motor vehicle and motor vehicle parts dealers (4,909); miscellaneous store retailers (4,863); and gasoline stations (4,460). In terms of sales, motor vehicle and motor vehicle parts stores accounted for the largest share of retail sales at $30.7 billion, followed by general merchandise stores at $17.9 billion; food and beverage stores at $17.4 billion; gasoline stations at $10.4 billion; and building material/garden equipment and supplies dealers at $9.1 billion. A total of 611,814 people were employed by the retail sector in Ohio that year.

In 2005, Ohio ranked seventh in the United States as an exporter of goods, with exports worth $34 billion. Transportation equipment, nonelectric machinery, chemicals, electric and electronic equipment, primary metals, fabricated metal products, stone, clay, and glass products, and rubber and plastic products account for most of the export value.

CONSUMER PROTECTION

Although Ohio has some of the toughest consumer protection laws in the United States, the state does not have a single, dedicated agency or department responsible for consumer protection. Instead, the state relies upon a range of state offices to provide consumer protection activities that are specific to that agency or department. Agencies involved in consumer protection include the Agriculture Department's Division of Food Safety, which operates inspection programs to protect consumers, and the Commerce Department's Office of Consumer Affairs (created in 2002), which protects consumers from abusive lending practices through education, fielding complaints, referring borrowers to organizations that can assist them, and initiating enforcement action if lending laws are violated. The Ohio Consumers' Counsel acts to protect the interests of residential consumers of public utilities and works to educate consumers about utility issues and resolve consumer complaints. The Attorney General's Office via its Consumer Protection Section, resolves consumer complaints and enforces consumer protection laws.

When dealing with consumer protection issues, the state's Attorney General's Office can initiate civil and criminal proceedings; represent the state before state and federal regulatory agencies; administer consumer protection and education programs; handle formal consumer complaints; and exercise broad subpoena powers. In antitrust actions, the Attorney General's Office can act on behalf of those consumers who are incapable of acting on their own; initiate damage actions on behalf of the state in state courts; initiate criminal proceedings; and represent counties, cities and other governmental entities in recovering civil damages under state or federal law.

The offices of the Ohio Consumer's Council and the Consumer Protection Section of the Attorney General's Office are located in Columbus. There is also a county government consumer affairs office in Akron.

BANKING

Ohio's first banks, in Marietta and Chillicothe, were incorporated in 1808, and a state bank was authorized in 1845. As of June 2005, Ohio had 281 insured banks, savings and loans, and saving banks, plus 223 state-chartered and 272 federally chartered credit unions (CUs). Excluding the CUs, the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor market area accounted for the largest portion of the state's depos-its in 2004, at $64.472 billion, but ranked third in the number of institutions at 44. The Cincinnati-Middletown market area (which includes a portion of Kentucky) ranks second in deposits with $37.080 billion, and first in the number of institutions at 87. The Columbus market area ranks second in the number of institutions at 57, and third in deposits at $28.762 billion. As of June 2005, CUs accounted for 1% of all assets held by all financial institutions in the state, or some $16.575 billion. Banks, savings and loans, and savings banks collectively accounted for the remaining 99% or $1,580.100 billion in assets held.

The median percentage of past-due/nonaccrual loans to total loans as of fourth quarter 2005 stood at 1.74%, down from 1.79% in 2004 and 1.89% in 2003. The median net interest margin (the difference between the lower rates offered savers and the higher rates charged on loans) for the state's insured institutions was 3.82% as of fourth quarter 2005, down from 3.83% in 2004 but up from 2003's rate of 3.80%.

State chartered banks and other state-chartered financial institutions are the responsibility of the Ohio Department of Commerce's Division of Financial Institutions. Federally charted institutions are regulated by the US government.

INSURANCE

In 2004, there were over 7.1 million individual life insurance policies in force, with a total value of over $480 billion; total value for all categories of life insurance (individual, group, and credit) was over $780.8 billion. The average coverage amount is $66,700 per policy holder. Death benefits paid that year totaled $2.4 billion. In 2000, 46 life and health insurance companies had headquarters in Ohio.

At the end of 2003, 134 property and casualty and 41 life and health insurance companies were domiciled in Ohio. In 2004, direct premiums for property and casualty insurance totaled over $13.8 billion. That year, there were 36,166 flood insurance policies in force in the state, with a total value of $3.9 billion. About $14.7 billion of coverage was held through FAIR plans, which are designed to offer coverage for some natural circumstances, such as wind and hail, in high risk areas.

In 2004, 61% of state residents held employment-based health insurance policies, 3% held individual policies, and 23% were covered under Medicare and Medicaid; 12% of residents were uninsured. In 2003, employee contributions for employment-based health coverage averaged at 17% for single coverage and 21% for family coverage. The state offers a six-month health benefits expansion program for small-firm employees in connection with the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA, 1986), a health insurance program for those who lose employment-based coverage due to termination or reduction of work hours.

In 2003, there were over 7.9 million auto insurance policies in effect for private passenger cars. Required minimum coverage includes bodily injury liability of up to $12,500 per individual and $25,000 for all persons injured in an accident, as well as property damage liability of $7,500. In 2003, the average expenditure per vehicle for insurance coverage was $671.23.

SECURITIES

The Cincinnati Stock Exchange (CSE) was organized on 11 March 1885 by 12 stockbrokers who agreed to meet regularly to buy and sell securities. In the mid-1990s, the Cincinnati Stock Exchange moved to Chicago and ceased operations in Ohio.

The Ohio securities marketplace is overseen by the Ohio Division of Securities of the Ohio Department of Commerce. The division provides investor protection, enhances capital formation, and protects the integrity of the securities marketplace by administering and enforcing the Ohio Securities Act, which was enacted in 1913. It requires that all securities sold in Ohio be registered with the division or properly exempted from registration and requires that each person transacting business in securities in Ohio be licensed by the division. It also imposes anti-fraud standards in connection with the sale of securities.

In 2005, there were 2,710 personal financial advisers employed in the state and 10,940 securities, commodities, and financial services sales agents. In 2004, there were over 279 publicly traded companies within the state, with over 93 NASDAQ companies, 93 NYSE listings, and 13 AMEX listings. In 2006, the state had 28 Fortune 500 companies; Cardinal Health (based in Dublin) ranked first in the state and ninth in the nation with revenues of over $74.9 billion, followed by Kroger, Procter and Gamble, and Federated Department Stores, all based in Cincinnati, and Nationwide Financial Services, based in Columbus. These five NYSE-listed companies are also part of the Fortune 100.

PUBLIC FINANCE

The state budget is prepared on a biennial basis by the Office of Budget and Management. It is submitted by the governor to the state legislature, which must act on it by the close of the current fiscal year (FY). The state's fiscal year runs from 1 July through 30 June.

The General Assembly has nearly total discretion in allocating general revenues, which are used primarily to support education, welfare, mental health facilities, law enforcement, property tax relief, and government operations. The assembly also allocates money from special revenue funds by means of specific legislative acts. More than one-half of all state expenditures come from the general fund.

Fiscal year 2006 general funds were estimated at $25.7 billion for resources and $25.3 billion for expenditures. In fiscal year 2004, federal government grants to Ohio totaled $16.5 billion.

TAXATION

In 2005, Ohio collected $24,007 million in tax revenues or $2,094 per capita, which placed it 27th among the 50 states in per capita tax burden. The national average was $2,192 per capita. Property taxes accounted for 0.2% of the total; sales taxes, 34.1%; selective sales taxes, 12.3%; individual income taxes, 39.3%; corporate income taxes, 5.5%; and other taxes, 8.6%.

In 2004, state and local property taxes amounted to $11,232,828,000 or $981 per capita. The per capita amount ranks the state 25th nationally. Local governments collected $11,192,192,000 of the total and the state government $40,636,000.

Ohio taxes retail sales at a rate of 6%. In addition to the state tax, local taxes on retail sales can reach as much as 2%, making for a potential total tax on retail sales of 8%. Food purchased for consumption off-premises is tax exempt. The tax on cigarettes is 125 cents per pack, which ranks 13th among the 50 states and the District of Columbia. Ohio taxes gasoline at 28 cents per gallon. This is in addition to the 18.4 cents per gallon federal tax on gasoline.

According to the Tax Foundation, for every federal tax dollar sent to Washington in 2004, Ohio citizens received $1.01 in federal spending.

ECONOMIC POLICY

Although Ohio seeks to attract new industries, a substantial portion of the state's annual economic growth stems from the expansion of existing businesses.

Ohio offers numerous business incentives to spur industrial development. The state encourages capital investment by offering private developers property tax abatements for commercial redevelopment. A 1976 state law permits municipal corporations to exempt certain property improvements from real property taxes for periods of up to 30 years. The state's guaranteed-loan program for industrial developers provides repayment guarantees on 90% of loans up to $1 million. The state also offers revenue bonds to finance a developer's land, buildings, and equipment at interest rates below the going mortgage interest rates.

The Ohio Department of Development (ODOD) consists of several divisions, including the: Economic Development Division, Office of Business Development, Office of Tax Incentives, Office of Financial Incentives, Office of Industrial Training, and Office of Small and Developing Business. These organizations administer plans for economic growth in cooperation with city and county governments. They inform companies about opportunities and advantages in the state and promote the sale of Ohio's exports abroad. In the 1990s, the departments instituted research and development programs at state universities in such fields as biotechnology, clean coal technologies, welding and joining technologies, robotics, polymers, and artificial intelligence. Special attention has been paid to the development of Ohio's growing life science industry. The Third Frontier Internship Program is designed to keep Ohio's college graduates in the state by connecting them with Ohio businesses through student internships.

HEALTH

The infant mortality rate in October 2005 was estimated at 8.2 per 1,000 live births. The birth rate in 2003 was 13.3 per 1,000 population. The abortion rate stood at 16.5 per 1,000 women in 2000.

The mortality rate from HIV infection was 2.1 per 100,000 population. In 2004, the reported AIDS case rate was at about 5.8 per 100,000 population. In 2002, about 55.6% of the population was considered overweight or obese. As of 2004, about 25.8% of state residents were smokers, representing the fifth-highest rate in the country.

In 2003, Ohio had 163 community hospitals with about 33,000 beds. There were about 1.4 million patient admissions that year and 30 million outpatient visits. The average daily inpatient census was about 20,600 patients. The average cost per day for hos-pital care was $1,504. Also in 2003, there were about 989 certified nursing facilities in the state with 106,426 beds and an overall occupancy rate of about 75%.

SOCIAL WELFARE

The growth of welfare programs in the state was remarkably rapid during the 1970s and early 1980s. From 1970 to 1978, for example, Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) nearly tripled, to $446 million; by 1996, there were 552,000 AFDC recipients; the average payment per family was $421.

In 2004, about 306,000 people received unemployment benefits, with the average weekly unemployment benefit at $252. For 2005, the estimated average monthly participation in the food stamp program included about 1,007,172 persons (448,524 households); the average monthly benefit was about $95.72 per person. That year, the total of benefits paid through the state for the food stamp program was about $1.15 billion.

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), the system of federal welfare assistance that officially replaced Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) in 1997, was reauthorized through the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005. TANF is funded through federal block grants that are divided among the states based on an equation involving the number of recipients in each state. Ohio's TANF program is called Ohio Works First (OWF). In 2004, the state program had 186,000 recipients; state and federal expenditures on this TANF program totaled $310 million in fiscal year 2003.

In December 2004, Social Security benefits were paid to 1,950,740 Ohio residents. This number included 1,199,320 retired workers, 236,870 widows and widowers, 230,860 disabled workers, 134,780 spouses, and 148,910 children.

For 2006, HUD allocated to the state over $48.9 million in community development block grants (CDBG). The city of Cleveland received over $24.5 million in CDBGs.

EDUCATION

In 2004, 88.1% of Ohio residents age 25 and older were high school graduates, surpassing the national average of 84%. Some 24.6% had obtained a bachelor's degree or higher.

Ohio claims a number of "firsts" in US education: the first kindergarten, established by German settlers in Columbus in 1838; the first junior high school, also at Columbus, in 1909; the first municipal university, the University of Cincinnati, founded in 1870; and the first college to grant degrees to women, Oberlin, in 1837. The state's earliest school system was organized in Akron in 1847.

The total enrollment in Ohio's public schools for fall 2002 stood at 1,838,000. Of these, 1,284,000 attended schools from kindergarten through grade eight, and 554,000 attended high school. Approximately 79.4% of the students were white, 17% were black, 2.1% were Hispanic, 1.3% were Asian/Pacific Islander, and 0.1% were American Indian/Alaskan Native. Total enrollment was estimated at 1,825,000 in fall 2003 and expected to be 1,752,000 by fall 2014, a decline of 4.7% during the period 200214. Expenditures for public education in 2003/04 were estimated at $19.2 billion or $8,963 per student. In fall 2003, there were 239,323 students enrolled in 987 private schools. Since 1969, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) has tested public school students nationwide. The resulting report, The Nation's Report Card, stated that in 2005, eighth graders in Ohio scored 283 out of 500 in mathematics compared with the national average of 278.

As of fall 2002, there were 587,996 students enrolled in college or graduate school; minority students comprised 15.1% of total postsecondary enrollment.

Well-known private colleges and universities include Antioch (Yellow Springs), Case Western Reserve (Cleveland), Kenyon (Gambier), Muskingum (New Concord), Oberlin, Wittenberg (Springfield), and Wooster. The conservatories at both Oberlin and the Cleveland Institute of Music have national reputations.

Ohio residents enrolled as full-time students at an eligible institution within the state may apply for instructional grants from the Student Assistance Office of the Ohio Board of Regents. Guaranteed loans are provided through the Ohio Student Loan Commission.

ARTS

The Ohio Arts Council was founded in 1965 with the mission of developing and preserving the state's cultural heritage. The council consists of a Board with 15 governor-appointed, voting members and 4 non-voting members 2 from the Ohio Senate and 2 from the House of Representatives. In 2005, the Ohio Arts Council and other Ohio arts organizations received 52 grants totaling $1,740,300 from the National Endowment for the Arts. State and private sources contributed funds to arts programming as well. As of 2006, the Ohio Humanities Council presented a number of historical and literary programs, including "Booked for the Day: Literary Retreats for Working Professionals" and the Ohio Chautauqua. In 2005, the National Endowment for the Humanities contributed $2,270,470 to 27 state programs.

The earliest center of artistic activities in Ohio was Cincinnati, where a group of young painters did landscapes and portraits as early as 1840. The state's first art gallery was established there in 1854; the Cincinnati Art Academy was founded in 1869, and the Art Museum in 1886. Famous American artists who worked in Cincinnati during part of their careers include Thomas Cole, a founder of the "Hudson River School" of landscape painting, and Columbus-born George Bellows, whose realistic Stag at Sharkey's is displayed at the Cleveland Museum of Art (founded in 1913). Other notable centers for the visual arts include the Akron Art Institute, Columbus Museum of Art, Dayton Art Institute, Toledo Museum of Art, and museums or galleries in Marion, Oberlin, Springfield, Youngstown, and Zanesville.

Cincinnati also was an early center for the theater; the Eagle Theater opened there in 1839, and shortly afterward, the first showboat on the Ohio River began making regular stops at the city. The first US minstrel show appeared in Ohio in 1842. Ohio has three professional theatrical companies: the Cincinnati Playhouse, the Cleveland Play House, and the Great Lakes Theatre Festival. Celebrating its 90th anniversary during the 2005/06 season, The Cleveland Play House is the nation's oldest permanent repertory theater. As of 2006, The Ohio Community Theater Association included groups in Akron, Canton, Columbus, Mans-field, Toledo, and Youngstown, among many other locations.

The Cincinnati Symphony was founded in 1895 and reorganized in 1909 with Leopold Stokowski as conductor. The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra acquired a new summer home in 1984 at the newly opened Riverbend Music Center. The Cincinnati Opera Association, founded in 1920, is the second-oldest opera company in the United States. Cincinnati is also the host of the annual Cincinnati May Festival, a classical music event that is considered to be the oldest continuous choral festival in the Western Hemisphere.

The Cleveland Orchestra, founded in 1918, has risen to world-class stature since 1946, when George Szell began his 24-year tenure as conductor and music director. Blossom Music Center, the Cleveland Orchestra's summer home located between Cleveland and Akron, has been a center for both classical and popular music in Northeast Ohio since opening in 1968. In 2002/2003 Blossom underwent major improvements to its structures and landscaping. A $36.7 million renovation and expansion of the orchestra's main home, Severance Hall, had been completed three years earlier.

Smaller professional musical groups in Cleveland include Apollo's Fire (the Cleveland Baroque Orchestra), the Cleveland Chamber Orchestra, and the Cleveland Pops Orchestra. The Cleveland Opera finds its home at the State Theatre and the Lyric Opera Cleveland is a resident of Playhouse Square.

There are civic symphony orchestras in Columbus, Dayton, Toledo, and Youngstown. Ballet companies are based in Cincinnati, Dayton, and Toledo. E. J. Thomas Hall in Akron is the home of the Ohio Ballet and the Akron Symphony. Operas are performed by resident companies in Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Toledo, and Dayton. There are numerous local arts festivals and craft shows. In 2005, Cleveland introduced the first ever Ingenuity Festival, a four-day event celebrating and promoting the awareness of the relationship between art and technology.

The nation's first college music department was established at Oberlin College in 1865; the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music was established in 1867, the Baldwin-Wallace College Conservatory in 1899, and the Cleveland Institute of Music in 1920. The Baldwin-Wallace Bach Festival, begun in 1932, is the oldest collegiate Bach festival in the country, celebrating its 75th Anniversary in 2007. Bach's four major choral works are performed at the festival in four-year cycles (one per year). Baldwin-Wallace is also home to the Riemenschneider Bach Institute, guardian of priceless Bach-related first editions and manuscripts.

The Cleveland International Piano Competition, held biennially at the Cleveland Institute of Music since 1975, has become one of the foremost events of its type, drawing contestants from 19 countries throughout the world. In 2005, the competition awarded a record cash prize of $50,000 to the winner.

LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS

Ever since early settlers traded coonskins for books and established, in 1804, the Coonskin Library (now on display at the Ohio Historical Center in Columbus), Ohioans have stressed the importance of the public library system. In calendar year 2001, Ohio had 250 public library systems, with a total of 716 libraries, of which 482 were branches. For that same year, the state's public library system had 47,088,000 volumes of books and serial publications on its shelves, and a total circulation of 156,527,000. The system also had 3,418,000 audio and 2,716,000 video items, 127,000 electronic format items (CD-ROMs, magnetic tapes, and disks), and 66 bookmobiles.

Major public library systems include those of Cincinnati, with 4,721,766 volumes in 1998; Cleveland, 3,782,419; Cuyahoga County, 3,085,123; Dayton, 1,782,419; and Columbus, 2,433,636. Leading academic libraries include those of Ohio State University, over seven million books; Case Western Reserve University, 1,304,852 books; and the University of Cincinnati, over three million books. The State Library of Ohio in Columbus, founded in 1817, provides research and information services for Ohio's state government and agencies with more than two million books and periodicals. In 2001, operating income for the state's public library system came to $682,412,000 and included $1,085,000 in federal grants and $499,124,000 in state grants.

Among the state's more than 284 museums are the Museum of Art, Natural History Museum, and Western Reserve Historical Society Museum in Cleveland; the Museum of Natural History, Art Museum, and Taft Museum in Cincinnati; the Dayton Art Institute; and the Center of Science and Industry and Ohio Historical Center in Columbus. The Zanesville Art Center has collections of ceramics and glass made in the Zanesville area. Also noteworthy are the US Air Force Museum near Dayton, the Neil Armstrong Air and Space Museum at Wapakoneta, and the Ohio River Museum in Marietta. Cincinnati has a conservatory of rare plants, while Cleveland has botanical gardens and an aquarium; both cities have zoos. The National First Ladies' Library in Canton features the artwork and artifacts of First Lady Caroline Harrison.

Historical sites in Ohio include the Schoenbrunn Village State Memorial, a reconstruction of the state's first settlement by Moravian missionaries, near New Philadelphia; the early-19th-century Piqua Historical Area, with exhibits of Indian culture; and the Fort Meigs reconstruction at Perrysburg. Archaeological sites include the "great circle" mounds, built by the Hopewell Indians at present-day Newark, and Inscription Rock, marked by prehistoric Indians, on Kelley's Island.

COMMUNICATIONS

In 2004, 94.9% of Ohio's occupied housing units had telephones. In addition, by June of that same year there were 6,188,081 mobile wireless telephone subscribers. In 2003, 58.8% of Ohio households had a computer and 52.5% had Internet access. By June 2005, there were 1,505,272 high-speed lines in Ohio, 1,395,062 residential and 110,210 for business.

Many of the state's radio stations were established in the early 1920s, when the growth of radio broadcasting was fostered by the availability of low-priced sets manufactured by Crosley Radio of Cincinnati. In 2005, there were 46 major AM stations, 159 major FM stations, and 31 commercial and 11 noncommercial television stations. In 1999, the Cleveland area had 1,479,020 television households, 72% of which received cable. In that same year the Cincinnati area had 820,000 television households, 64% receiving cable. Finally, of the Columbus area's 757,860 television-viewing families, 66% watched cable. A total of 168,083 Internet domain names were registered in Ohio in 2000.

PRESS

The first newspaper published in the region north and west of the Ohio River was the Centinel of the North-Western Territory, which was written, typeset, and printed in Cincinnati by William Maxwell in 1793. The oldest newspaper in the state still published under its original name is the Scioto Gazette, which appeared in 1800. The oldest extant weekly, the Lebanon Western Star, began publication in 1807, and the first daily, the Cincinnati Commercial Register, appeared in 1826. By 1840 there were 145 newspapers in Ohio.

Two of the state's most influential newspapers, the Cleveland Plain Dealer and the Cincinnati Enquirer, were founded in 1841. In 2005, the Cleveland Plain Dealer was the twentieth-largest daily newspaper in the country. In 1878, Edward W. Scripps established the Cleveland Penny Press (later called the Press ), the first newspaper in what would become the extensive Scripps-Howard chain (though the Press folded in 1982). He later added to his newspaper empire the Cincinnati Post (1881) and the Columbus Citizen (1899), as well as papers in Akron, Toledo, and Youngstown.

In 2005, the state had 30 mornings dailies, 54 evening editions, and 41 Sunday editions. With a total of 84 daily newspapers, Ohio has the third-largest number of daily papers in the country (following California and Texas).

There are also numerous local arts groups and historical societies.

TOURISM, TRAVEL, AND RECREATION

Ohio visitors spend more than $30.7 billion annually on travel and tourism and the industry supports nearly 529,100 travel-related positions. Ohio has a $162 million dollar travel market. Visitors spend more than one billion annually in Ashtabula County alone. It is known as the Covered Bridge Capital (16) and the Wine Capital (11) of Ohio, and offers more campsites than any other county in Ohio (18).

Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati all offer major attractions of museums, restaurants, shopping, parks, and concerts. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum and the Great Lakes Science Center, both in Cleveland, are major attractions. Major league sports (Indians baseball, Cavaliers basketball, Browns football) also draw visitors to Cleveland. The semiannual Cleveland International Piano Competition, with its $50,000 first prize, draws crowds to see performances with the Cleveland Orchestra. The NFL Hall of Fame is located in Canton. Popular amusement parks include Cedar Point in Sandusky, King's Island in Cincinnati, and Six Flags Worlds of Adventure in Aurora. Sandusky is also the launching point for visiting the Lake Erie Islands of Putin-Bay and Middle Bass Island. There visitors can see the monument to William Hazard Perry (naval hero of the War of 1812) and visit wineries.

Beaches and parks in the Lake Erie region are especially popular with tourists during the summer, including the Mentor Headlands State Park. The Cuyahoga Valley National Park is also a popular attraction, linking the urban centers of Cleveland and Akron. The Cleveland Metroparks system creates an "Emerald Necklace" around the greater Cleveland area.

Ohio state parks comprise 204,274 acres (84,000 hectares). Among the most visited state parks are Alum Creek, East Harbor and Kelleys Island (both on Lake Erie), Grand Lake, St. Mary's, Hocking Hills, Hueston Woods, Mohican, Pymatuning (on the Pennsylvania border), Rocky Fork, Salt Fork, Scioto Trail, and West Branch. Ohio is the home of many Indian communities and archaeological sites such as the Great Circle Earthworks and the Miamisburg Mound and the Serpent Mound are popular visitor sites.

The most popular sport fish are bass, catfish, bullhead, carp, perch, and rainbow trout. The deer-hunting season varies for shotgun, primitive arms, and bows.

The eastern Allegheny region has several ski resorts for winter sports enthusiasts. Popular tourist attractions here include the Amish settlement around Millersburg, the National Road-Zane Grey Museum near Zanesville, and the restored Roscoe Village on the Ohio-Erie Canal. The southern region offers scenic hill country and the showboat Majestic, the last of the original floating theaters, in Cincinnati.

In the western region, tourist sites include the Wright brothers' early flying machines in Dayton's Carillon Park, the Ohio Caverns at West Liberty, and the Zane Caverns near Bellefontaine. The central region is "Johnny Appleseed" country; the folk hero (a frontiersman whose real name was John Chapman) is commemorated in Mansfield by the blockhouse to which he directed settlers in order to save them from an Indian raid. In Columbus are the reconstructed Ohio Village and the Exposition Center, site of the annual Ohio State Fair, held for 13 days in mid-August.

Other leading tourist attractions include Ohio's presidential memorials and homes: the William Henry Harrison Memorial at North Bend, Ulysses S. Grant's birthplace at Point Pleasant, the James A. Garfield home at Mentor, the Rutherford B. Hayes home at Fremont, the William McKinley Memorial at Canton, the Taft National Historic Site in Cincinnati, and the Warren G. Harding home in Marion. Also of interest are the Thomas A. Edison birthplace at Milan, and Malabar Farm, in Richland County, home of author and conservationist Louis Bromfield.

SPORTS

There are seven major professional sports teams in Ohio: the Cleveland Indians and the Cincinnati Reds of Major League Baseball, the Columbus Crew of Major League Soccer, the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns of the National Football League, the Columbus Blue Jackets of the National Hockey League, and the Cleveland Cavaliers of the National Basketball Association.

The state is also home to Triple-A minor league baseball teams in Columbus and Toledo, a Double-A team in Akron, and Single-A teams in Eastlake, Niles, and Dayton. In addition, there are minor league hockey teams in Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, and Toledo.

The Cincinnati Reds (traditionally short for Redstockings) were the first professionally organized baseball team, playing their first season in 1869. Their record was 64-0. The Reds won the World Series in 1919, 1940, 1975, 1976, and 1990. The Indians won the World Series in 1920 and 1948. In 1995, the Indians won their first American League pennant since 1954, but lost to the Atlanta Braves in the World Series. They returned to the Series in 1997, this time losing to the Florida Marlins. The original Cleveland Browns, who moved to Baltimore in 1995, won four NFL titles, football's championship prior to the Super Bowl, the last in 1964. An expansion or relocation NFL team began play as the Browns in a new stadium in Cleveland beginning in 1999. The Bengals won the American Football Conference Championship in both 1981 and 1988, but lost each year's Super Bowl.

Akron has been headquarters for the Professional Bowlers Association (PBA) since its founding in 1958. The PBA's top tournament is played there each year, and the PBA Hall of Fame is also located in Akron. The NEC Invitational is played annually in Akron, and the Memorial Golf Tournament in Dublin.

Major horse-racing tracks include Cleveland's Thistledown, Cincinnati's River Downs, Columbus's Scioto Downs, and other tracks at Toledo, Lebanon, Grove City, and Northfield. The Cleveland Gold Cup race is held annually at Thistledown, as is the Ohio Derby. The Little Brown Jug classic for three-year-old pacers takes place every year at the Delaware Fairgrounds, and the Ohio State race for two-year-old trotters is held during the state fair at Columbus.

Several new facilities have been constructed, including the new Cleveland Browns Stadium in 1999, Jacobs Field in 1994 (home of the Indians), Columbus Crew Stadium, and most recently, the Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati (2003). The Cincinnati Reds make it their home park.

In collegiate sports, Ohio State University has long been a football powerhouse, winning over 25 Big Ten titles. Ohio State won the Rose Bowl in 1950, 1955, 1958, 1969, 1974, and 1997. The Buckeyes were named national champions in 1942, 1954 (with UCLA), 1957 (with Auburn), 1968, and in 2003 after upsetting Miami (Fl) in the Fiesta Bowl. Ohio State also has won National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championships in baseball, basketball, fencing, golf, gymnastics, and swimming, while Cincinnati and Dayton universities have had highly successful basketball teams. The Pro Football Hall of Fame is located in Canton, where the sport was first organized professionally in 1920.

Other annual sporting events include the grand tournament of the American Trapshooting Association in Vandalia, the Grand Prix or Cleveland Indy car race, and the All-American Soap Box Derby in Akron, a nationally covered event in which 9- to 15-yearolds compete.

FAMOUS OHIOANS

Ohio has been the native state of seven US presidents and the residence of another. Inventions by Ohioans include the incandescent light, the arc light, and the airplane.

William Henry Harrison (b.Virginia, 17731841), the ninth US president, came to Ohio as a US Army ensign in territorial times. After serving in the Indian wars under Gen. Anthony Wayne, he became secretary of the Northwest Territory. As the territorial delegate to Congress, he fostered the Harrison Land Act, which stimulated settlement of the public domain. Named territorial governor in 1800, Harrison conducted both warfare and peace negotiations with the Indians. After the defeat of British and Indian forces in 1813, he became known as the "Washington of the West." After settling at North Bend on the Ohio River, he began a political career that carried him to the White House in 1841. Harrison caught a chill from a cold March wind and died of pneumonia exactly one month after his inauguration.

From 1869 to 1881, the White House was occupied by three Ohioans. All were Republicans who had served with distinction as Union Army generals. The first, Ulysses Simpson Grant (Hiram Ulysses Grant, 182285), the 18th US president, was an Ohio farm boy educated at West Point. After service in the Mexican War, he left the US Army, having been charged with intemperance. He emerged from obscurity in 1861, when he was assigned to an Illinois regiment. Grant rose quickly in command; after victories at Shiloh and Vicksburg, he was commissioned major general. In 1864, he directed the Virginia campaign that ended with Confederate surrender, and this rumpled, slouching, laconic man became the nation's hero. In 1868, he was elected president, and he was reelected in 1872. His second term was rocked with financial scandals, though none were directly connected to Grant. After leaving the presidency in 1877, he went bankrupt, and to discharge his debts, he wrote his memoirs. That extraordinary book was completed four days before his death from throat cancer in 1885. Grant is buried in a monumental tomb in New York City.

Rutherford B. Hayes (182293), the 19th US president, was born in Delaware, Ohio, and educated at Kenyon College and Harvard Law School. Following Army service, he was elected to Congress, and in 1876 became the Republican presidential nominee. In a close and disputed election, he defeated New York's Governor Samuel J. Tilden. Hayes chose not to run for re-election, returning instead to Ohio to work on behalf of humanitarian causes. In 1893, Hayes died in Fremont, where the Hayes Memorial was createdthe first presidential museum and library in the nation.

James A. Garfield (183181), 20th US president, was born in a log cabin in northern Ohio. Between school terms, he worked as a farmhand and a mule driver on the Ohio Canal. After holding several Civil War commands, he served in Congress for 18 years. Elected president in 1880, he held office but a few months; he was shot by a disappointed office seeker in the Washington, DC, railroad station on 2 July and died 11 weeks later.

Benjamin Harrison (18331901), 23rd US president and grandson of William Henry Harrison, was born in North Bend. After graduation from Miami University, he studied law and began to practice in Indianapolis. Military command in the Civil War was followed by service in the US Senate and the Republican presidential nomination in 1888. As president, Harrison gave impetus to westward expansion, moved toward annexation of Hawaii, and enlarged the civil-service system.

US presidents in the 20th century include three more native Ohioans. William McKinley (18431901) was born in Niles. Elected in 1896 as the 25th president, he established the gold standard and maintained tariff protection for US manufactures. Early in his second term, while greeting a throng of people, he was shot to death by a young anarchist. William Howard Taft (18571930), of Cincinnati, was the 27th US president. He gained a national reputation in 1904 as President Theodore Roosevelt's secretary of war; five years later, he succeeded Roosevelt in the White House. Defeated in 1912, Taft then left Washington for a law professorship at Yale. In 1921, under President Warren G. Harding (18651923), he became US chief justice, serving in that office until a month before his death. Harding, the last Ohioan to win the White House, was born in Blooming Grove. He went into politics from journalism, after serving as editor of the Marion Star. After eight years in the US Senate, he was a dark-horse candidate for the Republican presidential nomination in 1920. He won the election from James M. Cox (18701957), another Ohio journalist-politician, and became the 29th US president. Harding, who died in office, was surrounded by graft and corruption in his own cabinet.

Three US vice presidents were natives of Ohio. Thomas A. Hendricks (181985) was elected on the Democratic ticket with Grover Cleveland in 1884. Charles W. Fairbanks (18521918) served from 1905 to 1909 under Theodore Roosevelt. Charles Gates Dawes (18651951) became vice president under Calvin Coolidge in 1925, the same year the Dawes Plan for reorganizing German finances brought him the Nobel Peace Prize; from 1929 to 1932, he served as US ambassador to Great Britain.

Three Ohioans served as chief justice on the Supreme Court: Salmon P. Chase (b.New Hampshire, 180873), Morrison R. Waite (b.Connecticut, 181688), and Taft. Most notable among nearly 40 cabinet officers from Ohio were Secretary of State Lewis Cass (b.New Hampshire, 17831866), Treasury Secretaries Chase and John Sherman (18231900), and Secretary of War Edwin M. Stanton (181469). William Tecumseh Sherman (182091) was a Union general in the Civil War whose Georgia campaign in 1864 helped effect the surrender of the Confederacy. Although disappointed in his quest for the presidency, US Senator Robert A. Taft (18891953) was an enduring figure, best remembered for his authorship of the Taft-Hartley Labor Management Relations Act of 1947.

Nobel Prize winners from Ohio include Dawes and physicists Arthur Compton (18921962) and Donald Glaser (b.1926). Notable Pulitzer Prize winners include novelist Louis Bromfield (18961956), dramatist Russell Crouse (18931966), historian Paul Herman Buck (18991979), and historian and biographer Arthur Schlesinger Jr. (b.1917). Ohio writers of enduring fame are novelists William Dean Howells (18371920), Zane Grey (18751939), and Sherwood Anderson (18761941), whose short story collection Winesburg, Ohio was set in his hometown of Clyde; poets Paul Laurence Dunbar (18721906) and Hart Crane (18991932); and humorist James Thurber (18941961). Toni Morrison (b.1931), winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for literature and the 1993 Nobel Prize for literature, was born in Lorain, Ohio. Among Ohio's eminent journalists are Whitelaw Reid (18371912), satirists David R. Locke (183388) and Ambrose Bierce (18421914), columnist O. O. McIntyre (18841938), newsletter publisher W. M. Kiplinger (18911967), and James Reston (b.Scotland, 190995), an editor and columnist for the New York Times along with author-commentator Lowell Thomas (18921981). Important in the art world were painters Thomas Cole (b.England, 180148), Frank Duveneck (b.Kentucky, 18481919), and George Bellows (18821925), as well as architects Cass Gilbert (18591934) and Philip Johnson (19062005). Defense lawyer Clarence Darrow (18571938) was also an Ohioan.

Ohio educators whose books taught reading, writing, and arithmetic to the nation's schoolchildren were William Holmes McGuffey (b.Pennsylvania, 180073), Platt R. Spencer (180064), and Joseph Ray (180765). In higher education, Horace Mann (b.Massachusetts, 17961859) was the first president of innovative Antioch College, and William Rainey Harper (18561906) founded the University of Chicago.

Several Ohio-born inventor-scientists have furthered the nation's industrial progress. Thomas A. Edison (18471931) produced the incandescent lamp, the phonograph, and the movie camera. Charles Brush (18491929) invented the arc light. John H. Patterson (18441922) helped develop the cash register. The Wright brothers, Orville (18711948) and Wilbur (b.Indiana, 18671912), made the first flight in a powered aircraft. Charles F. Kettering (18761958) invented the automobile self-starter. Ohio's leading industrialist was John D. Rockefeller (b.New York, 18391937), founder of Standard Oil of Ohio. Harvey S. Firestone (18681938) started the tire company that bears his name. Edward "Eddie" Rickenbacker (18901973), an ace pilot in World War I, was president of Eastern Airlines.

The most notable Ohioans in the entertainment field are marks-woman Annie Oakley (Phoebe Anne Oakley Mozee, 18601926); movie actors Clark Gable (190160) and Roy Rogers (Leonard Slye, 191298); movie director Stephen Spielberg (b.1947); comedian Bob Hope (Leslie Townes Hope, b.England, 1903); actors Paul Newman (b.1925), Hal Holbrook (b.1925), and Joel Grey (b.1932); jazz pianist Art Tatum (191056); and composer Henry Mancini (192494).

Leading sports figures from Ohio are boxing champion Jim Jeffries (18751953), racing driver Barney Oldfield (18781946), baseball pitcher Cy Young (18671955), baseball executive Branch Rickey (18811965), baseball star Peter "Pete" Rose (b.1941), who broke Ty Cobb's record for the most hits, track star Jesse Owens (b.Alabama, 191280), jockey George Edward "Eddie" Arcaro (191697), and golfer Jack Nicklaus (b.1940).

Astronauts from Ohio include John Glenn (b.1921), the first American to orbit Earth, who was elected US senator from Ohio in 1974; and Neil Armstrong (b.1930), the first man to walk on the moon.

STATE REGULATORY INFORMATION

The State Legislature of Ohio passed primary legislation governing proprietary schools effective as of December 1, 1970. This has been amended as recently as June 30, 1997. Through the enactment of this legislation a State Board of Proprietary School Registration is responsible for the regulation and supervision of most home study, business, trade and technical and other proprietary schools soliciting students in Ohio.

Such schools are required to secure a Certificate of Registration from the State Board of Proprietary School Registration. This Board shall issue a Certificate of Registration to an applicant of good reputation offering one or more courses after determining the faculty and physical facilities are available to provide students with the kind of instruction purported to offer. A Certificate of Registration shall be granted within 120 days. Registration numbers are assigned to all registered schools and such registration number shall be used in all advertisements and publications bearing the name of the school. The Certificate of Registration is valid for two years unless earlier revoked for cause by the Board.

No courses of instruction shall be established offered, or given; no diploma, degree, or written evidence shall be offered or awarded; and no student enrollment shall be solicited through advertisement, mail, circulars, or other means until the person planning to offer such a course of instruction has obtained a Certificate of Registration from the Board.

Application shall be accompanied by a surety bond in the penal sum of $10,000. The bond shall provide for the indemnification of any person suffering loss as a result of fraud or misrepresentation on the part of a school to secure a student's enrollment.

No person may act as an agent for any school unless be first secures a permit as an agent from the State Board of Proprietary School Registration and is an employee of the school. If the agent represents more than one school, a separate permit is required for each school represented by him. An agent who represents a person that operates more than one school in the same geographical area as determined by the Board need not obtain a separate permit. Upon approval for a permit, the Board issues a pocket card identifying the agent and school represented. To secure the permit, a surety bond in the penal sum of one thousand dollars must accompany the application. Such bond provides for the indemnification to any student suffering loss as a result of fraud or misrepresentation.

The agent's permit is valid for one year from the date of issue, unless revoked by the Board for cause. The issuance of a permit does not constitute approval of any course of instruction or the persons, or institutions. Student Tuition Recovery Fund was established to protect students from tuition loss whether due to business failure or any other reason for which the student is not legally responsible. Payment is due annually by July 31, and is calculated by prior year's tuition receipts.

Any person adversely affected by actions of a Certificate holder may file a complaint with the State Board of Proprietary School Registration. All schools must include in the enrollment agreement notice that students may direct any problems or complaints to the State Board.

Schools must conduct a survey to determine student satisfaction. Surveys shall be administered prior to the end of each school year.

1 Location and Size

Located in the eastern north-central United States, Ohio is the 11th largest of the 12 Midwestern states and ranks 35th in size among the 50 states. The state’s total area is 41,330 square miles (107,044 square kilometers), of which land comprises 41,004 square miles (106,201 square kilometers) and inland water 326 square miles (823 square kilometers). Ohio extends about 210 miles (338 kilometers) east-west and 230 miles (370 kilometers) north-south. Ohio’s total boundary length is 997 miles (1,605 kilometers). Five important islands lie off the state’s northern shore in Lake Erie: the three Bass Islands, Kelleys Island, and Catawba Island.

2 Topography

Ohio has three distinct topographical regions: the foothills of the Allegheny Mountains in the eastern half of the state; the Erie lakeshore, extending for nearly three-fourths of the northern boundary; and the central plains in the western half of the state.

The Allegheny Plateau in eastern Ohio consists of rugged hills and steep valleys that recede gradually as the terrain sweeps westward toward the central plains. The highest point in the state is Campbell Hill (1,549 feet/472 meters), located in Logan County northwest of Columbus.

The Erie lakeshore, a band of level lowland that runs across the state to the northwestern corner on the Michigan boundary, is distinguished by sandy beaches. The central plains extend to the western boundary with Indiana. In the south, undulating hills decline in altitude as they reach the serpentine Ohio River, which forms the state’s southern boundary with Kentucky and West Virginia. The state’s lowest point is on the bands of the Ohio River in the southwest, where the altitude drops to 455 feet (139 meters) above sea level.

Most of Ohio’s 2,500 lakes are situated in the east and nearly all are reservoirs backed up by river dams. The largest, Pymatuning Reservoir, on the Pennsylvania border, has an area of 14,650 acres (5,929 hectares). Grand Lake (St. Mary’s), located near the western border, covering 12,500 acres (5,059 hectares), is the largest lake wholly within Ohio.

Major rivers include the Maumee, Portage, Sandusky, Cuyahoga, and Grand rivers, which

drain into Lake Erie. The Muskingum, Hocking, Raccoon, Scioto, Little Miami, and Miami rivers flow into the Ohio River, which winds for about 450 miles (725 kilometers) along the eastern and southern borders.

3 Climate

Lying in the humid continental zone, Ohio has a generally temperate climate. Winters are cold and summers mild in the eastern highlands. The southern region has the warmest temperatures. Cleveland, in the north, has an annual mean temperature of 51°f (10°c), while the mean temperature in Cincinnati, in the south, is 54.5°f (12°c). Cleveland has an average of 122 days per year in which the temperature drops to 32°f (0°c) or lower. In Cincinnati, only about 90 days per year have temperatures below freezing. The record low temperature for the state is -39°f (-39°c), set in Milligan on 10 February 1899. The record high is 113°f (45°c), registered near Gallipolis on 21 July 1934.

The average annual precipitation in Cincinnati is 40.7 inches (103 centimeters). In Cleveland, the average annual precipitation is 37.2 inches (94 centimeters). Cleveland has an average annual snowfall of 55.4 inches (140 centimeters), while Cincinnati receives 14.2 inches (36 centimeters) per year. Because of its proximity to Lake Erie, Cleveland is the windiest city, with winds that average 11 miles per hour (18 kilometers per hour). Severe thunderstorms and damaging tornados have occurred, particularly in early summer.

4 Plants and Animals

More than 2,500 plant species have been found in Ohio. The southeastern hill and valley region supports pitch pine, bigleaf magnolia, and sour-wood, with undergrowths of sassafras, witch-hazel, and pawpaw. Other trees include maple, poplar, pine, and sycamore. The buckeye, originally called the Ohio buckeye and now the official state tree, is characterized by its clusters of cream-colored flowers that bloom in spring and later form large, brown, thick-hulled nuts. In 2006, five Ohio plant species were listed as threatened, including eastern prairie fringed orchid, northern wild monkshood, and lakeside daisy. The running buffalo clover was listed as endangered that same year.

The Buckeye State is rich in mammals. White-tailed deer, badger, and eastern cottontail are mammals found throughout the state’s five wildlife districts. The bobcat is among many species with more restricted habitats. Common birds include the mourning dove, eastern belted king-fisher, and eastern horned lark; the cardinal is the state bird. Perch, carp, pike, trout, and other species thrive in Ohio’s lakes and streams. The snapping, midland painted, and spiny soft-shelled turtles appear throughout Ohio. The northern copperhead, eastern massasauga (swamp rattler), and timber rattlesnake are Ohio’s only poisonous reptiles. Fowler’s toad, bullfrog, green pickerel frog, and marbled and red-backed salamanders are common native amphibians.

In 2006, the US Fish and Wildlife Service listed 17 Ohio animal species as threatened or endangered, including the bald eagle, Indiana bat, Scioto madtom, and piping plover.

Ohio Population by Race

Census 2000 was the first national census in which the instructions to respondents said, “Mark one or more races.” This table shows the number of people who are of one, two, or three or more races. For those claiming two races, the number of people belonging to the various categories is listed. The U.S. government conducts a census of the population every ten years.

5 Environmental Protection

In recent years, the state’s major environmental concerns have been to reverse the pollution of Lake Erie, control the air pollution attributable to industries and automobiles, clean up dumps for solid and hazardous wastes, improve water quality, and prevent pollution.

The state’s regulatory agency for environmental matters is the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), established in 1972. The agency has long-range programs to deal with pollution of air, water, and land resources.

Another agency, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, is responsible for the development and use of the state’s natural resources. The department also assists in soil conservation, issues permits for dams, promotes conservation of oil and gas, and allocates strip-mining licenses.

Since 1972, antipollution efforts in Lake Erie have focused on reducing the discharge of phosphorus into the lake from sewage and agricultural wastes. Ohio industries have also spent billions of dollars on efforts to control air pollution. Peak ozone levels have dropped by 25% overall and by up to 50% in some urban areas.

In 2003, Ohio had 318 hazardous waste sites listed in the Environmental Protection Agency’s database, 30 of which were on the National Priorities List in 2006.

6 Population

In 2006, Ohio ranked seventh in population among the 50 states with an estimated total of 11,478,006 residents. The population is projected to reach 11.6 million by 2025. In 2004, Ohio’s population density was 281.1 persons per square mile (108.5 persons per square kilometer). The median age in 2004 was 37.5. In 2005, about 13% of all residents were 65 years old or older and about 25% were 18 or younger.

As of 2005, Columbus was Ohio’s largest city, with an estimated population of 730,657. Cleveland had about 452,208 residents. Other leading cities were Cincinnati, 308,728; Toledo, 301,285; Akron, 210,795; and Dayton, 158,873.

7 Ethnic Groups

Ohio was first settled by migrants from the eastern states and from the British Isles and northern Europe, especially Germany. Cincinnati had such a large German population that its public schools were bilingual until World War I. By 2000, however, only about 3% of Ohioans were foreign born, the major places of origin being Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom. Ethnic clusters persist in the large cities and some small communities retain a specific ethnic flavor, such as Fairport Harbor on Lake Erie, which has a large Finnish population.

According to the 2000 census, there were 1,301,307 black Americans living in the state, representing about 11.5% of the population. About 217,123 people were Hispanic or Latino, including 90,663 people of Mexican descent. Native Americans numbered about 24,486. Asians were estimated to number 132,633, including 30,425 Chinese, 12,393 Filipinos, 10,732 Japanese, and 13,376 Koreans. Pacific Islanders numbered 2,749.

8 Languages

Ohio English reflects three post-Revolutionary migration paths. In the Western Reserve south of Lake Erie, Northern speech was brought from New York and Connecticut. Most of rural Ohio has North Midland speech from Pennsylvania. Ohio River towns have South Midland speakers from Kentucky, who brought the phrase you all into a more common usage there. Localisms have developed around different cities. For the grass strip between the sidewalk and street, residents of Akron may use the tern devil-strip while those in Cleveland may use the term treelawn. Recent northward migration has introduced South Midland speech and black English into such industrial centers as Cleveland, Toledo, and Akron.

In 2000, 93.9% of all residents age five and older spoke only English at home. Other languages spoken at home, and the number of speakers, included Spanish, 213,147; German, 72,647; French, 44,594; and Italian, 27,697.

9 Religions

The first religious settlement in Ohio territory was founded among Huron Indians in 1751 by a Roman Catholic priest near what is now Sandusky. Shortly afterward, Moravian missionaries converted some Delaware Indians to Christianity. The first Protestant church was founded by Congregationalist ministers at Marietta in 1788. Dissident religious sects such as the Shakers, Amish, and Quakers moved into Ohio from the early 18th century onward. Hebrew Union College, a rabbinical training school and center of Jewish learning, was founded in Cincinnati in 1875. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) built its first permanent place of worship in Kirtland, Ohio, in 1933. The Kirtland Temple, as it has been called, is still open today.

In 2004, Ohio had a Roman Catholic population of about 2,139,524. In 2000, the state’s Jewish population was estimated at 142,255. The Muslim population was at about 41,281 people.

The largest Protestant denominations and their adherents were the United Methodist Church, 420,142 in 2004; the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, 301,749 (in 2000); the Southern Baptist Convention, 187,227 (2000); the Presbyterian Church USA, 160,800 (2000); the United Church of Christ, 118,449 (2005); Christian Churches and Churches of Christ, 142,571 (2000); and the American Baptist Churches USA, 117,757 (2000). Ohio communities of Amish and Mennonites are among the largest in the nation with over 24,000 Amish and over 20,000 Mennonites in the state (primarily in central Ohio). About 6.2 million people (55.1% of the population) were not counted as members of any religious organization in 2000.

10 Transportation

Sandwiched between two of the country’s largest inland water systems, Lake Erie and the Ohio River, Ohio has long been a leader in water transport. The building of railroads in the mid-19th century greatly improved transportation within the state by connecting inland counties with Lake Erie and the Ohio River. In 2003, 6,519 miles (10,495 kilometers) of track were in service, utilized by 19 railroads, including 3 Class I railroads. In 2006, Amtrak operated three regularly scheduled trains through Ohio, connecting six cities.

The major interstate highways across Ohio are I-80, I-90, I-70, I-71, I-77, and I-75. In 2004, Ohio had 124,752 miles (200,850 kilometers) of roads. Also in 2004, there some 6,395,000 automobiles, 4,061,000 trucks, 298,000 motorcycles, and 18,000 buses registered in the state. There were 7,675,007 licensed drivers.

Inland waterways have long been important for transport and commerce in Ohio. The public demand for water transportation in the interior of the state, where few rivers were navigable, led to construction of the Ohio and Erie Canal from Cincinnati to Dayton; both were opened to traffic in 1827. The canals gave Ohio’s farmers better access to eastern and southern markets. Water transportation is still a principal means of shipping Ohio’s products through the St. Lawrence Seaway to foreign countries and the method by which millions of tons of cargo are moved via the Ohio River to domestic markets.

Ohio’s ports rank among the busiest of the 50 states in volume. In 2004, the state’s most active ports were Cleveland, Cincinnati, Ashtabula, and Toledo.

Ohioans consider Dayton to be the birthplace of aviation because it was there that Wilbur and Orville Wright built the first motor-powered airplane in 1903. In 2005, there were 519 airports in the state. The major air terminals are the Greater Cincinnati airport (actually located across the Ohio River in Kentucky) and Hopkins International in Cleveland.

11 History

The first European travelers in Ohio, during the 17th century, found four Native American tribes of nomadic hunters: the Wyandot and Delaware in northern Ohio; the Miami and Shawnee in the south. European exploration was begun by a French nobleman, Robert Cavelier, Sieur de la Salle, who voyaged from the St. Lawrence River to the Ohio River in 1669–70.

Both the French and the English claimed possession of Ohio. The French claim rested on La Salle’s exploration, while the British claimed all territory extending westward from their coastal colonies. The clash of ambitions eventually brought on the French and Indian War—during which Native Americans fought on both sides. The war ended in 1763 with French defeat and the ceding of the vast western territory to the British. During the Revolutionary War, the American militiaman George Rogers Clark, with a small company of woodsmen-soldiers, seized British posts and trading stations in Ohio. In the Battle of Piqua, Clark’s forces defeated Native Americans allied with the British.

To provide for the development of the territory northwest of the Ohio River, the US Congress enacted the Land Ordinance of 1785 and the Northwest Ordinance of 1787. The first permanent settlement in Ohio, the historic town of Marietta, was established in 1788 by an organization of Revolutionary War veterans. Access to the fertile Ohio Valley was provided by the westward-flowing Ohio River, which carried pioneer settlers and frontier commerce.

Increasing settlement of the Ohio Valley aroused Indian resistance, which persisted until Major General “Mad Anthony” Wayne routed Miami and Shawnee tribesmen in 1794 in the decisive Battle of Fallen Timbers. Native American leaders surrendered claim to the southern half of Ohio, opening that large domain to uncontested American occupation.

Statehood In 1800, Connecticut ceded to the US a strip of land along Lake Erie (claimed by its colonial charter and called the Western Reserve), and that region became a part of the Northwest Territory. A great wave of migration from the older colonies followed. By 1802, Ohio had enough population to seek statehood, and in November, a constitutional convention assembled at Chillicothe to frame a constitution. On 1 March 1803, Ohio joined the Union as the 17th state.

Within ten years, the new state was confronted by conflicts on two different fronts. In the battle of Tippecanoe on 7 November 1811, Ohio militia regiments led by General William Henry Harrison repulsed an invasion by Native Americans from beyond Ohio’s western border. Control of Lake Erie and of Great Lakes commerce was at stake when Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry won a decisive naval victory over a British fleet in western Lake Erie during the War of 1812.

With peace restored in 1815, “Ohio fever” spread through New England as migrants streamed westward, to be joined by immigrants from across the Atlantic, especially England, Ireland, and Germany. By 1850, Ohio was the third most populous state in the Union. The Ohio canal system, created between 1825 and 1841, linked the Ohio River and Lake Erie, providing a waterway to the Atlantic. By 1850, when farm and factory production outstripped the capacity of mule teams and canal barges, railroad building had begun. In the next decade, railroads crisscrossed the state.

1860s–1950s In 1861, Ohio, like the nation, was divided. The northern counties, teeming with former New Englanders, were filled with abolitionist zeal in opposing slavery. But Ohio’s southern counties had close ties with Virginia and Kentucky across the river and gathered enough political support to nominate pro-Confederacy “Copperhead” Clement L. Vallandigham for state governor in 1863. (He was defeated by Unionist John Brough.) Ohio surpassed its quota by providing a total of 320,000 Union Army volunteers and gave the Union its greatest generals—Ulysses S. Grant, William Tecumseh Sherman, and Philip H. Sheridan.

War demands stimulated Ohio manufacturing, and in the decade following the war, the state’s industrial products surpassed the value of its rich farm production. In the 1870s, John D. Rockefeller of Cleveland formed the Standard Oil Company, which soon controlled oil refining and distribution throughout the nation. At the same time, B. F. Goodrich of Akron began making fire hose, the first rubber product in an industry whose tremendous growth would make Akron the “rubber capital of the world.”

In the 1920s, Ohio’s oil, rubber, and glass industries benefited from growing automobile production. Yet none of these industries was immune to the prolonged depression of the 1930s. Widespread unemployment and a stagnant economy were not relieved until the outbreak of World War II, which swept 641,000 Ohioans into military service.

The state’s economy prospered after the war, with highway building, truck and tractor production, aircraft manufacture, and airport construction leading the field. The completion of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959 made Toledo and Cleveland active ocean ports. Major problems during this period involved pollution created by the dumping of industrial wastes (especially in Lake Erie), as well as urban decay resulting from the departure of middle-class families to the suburbs.

Post-War Era Deteriorating neighborhoods produced inadequate revenues for schools and public services, and attempts at racial integration brought controversy and disturbance. When political office went to minority leaders—in 1967, Carl Stokes of Cleveland became the first black mayor of any major US city—friction and tension continued. A further shock was the shooting of 13 students, 4 of whom died, at Kent State University on 4 May 1970 by the National Guard. They had been sent to the campus to preserve order during a series of student demonstrations against US involvement in Indochina (Vietnam).

During the early 1980s, Ohio was still beset by serious social and economic problems. The decline in manufacturing jobs was only partly offset by employment in the growing service area. Ohio’s huge coal reserves were of limited use because of their content of sulfur, an atmospheric pollutant.

Ohio has begun to address its problems. It has strengthened its state universities and developed a system of community colleges that have brought vocational training within the reach of most of its citizens. In 1983, the state established the Thomas Edison Program, which provides start-up companies with venture capital funds.

Ohio has also taken measures to protect and preserve its natural resources, reversing, to a significant extent, the pollution of Lake Erie.

Ohio was one of the states affected by the 14 August 2003 massive power blackout in Canada, the Northeast, and Midwestern states. The largest electrical outage in US history affected 9,300 square miles and a population of over 50 million. An initial power failure in Ohio was later found to be the trigger for the outage.

Ohio remained at the center of the nation’s presidential politics in 2004: President George W. Bush narrowly defeated John Kerry in Ohio by less than 120,000 votes, which swung the election for him.

In 2005, Republican Governor Bob Taft (great-grandson of President William Howard Taft) was the subject of a scandal in which he pleaded no contest to accepting gifts without reporting them as required by law.

In the 2004 election, Ohio voters approved an amendment to the Ohio constitution. It declared that a valid and recognized marriage in the state must be between one man and one woman.

12 State Government

Ohio’s General Assembly consists of a 99-member house of representatives, elected for two years; and a senate of 33 members serving four-year terms. Each house may introduce legislation, and both houses must approve a bill before it can be signed into law by the governor. The governor’s veto of a bill can be overridden by three-fifths majority votes of both houses.

Officials elected statewide are the governor and lieutenant governor (elected jointly), secretary of state, attorney general, auditor, and treasurer, all of whom serve four-year terms.

The legislative salary as of 31 December 2004 was $54,942, and the governor’s salary was $126,485.

13 Political Parties

After the Civil War, 7 of the country’s next 12 presidents were Ohio-born Republicans, beginning with Ulysses S. Grant and ending with Warren G. Harding. From 1856 to 1996, Ohioans voted for the Republican candidate in all presidential elections except those in which the following six Democrats were elected: Woodrow Wilson (twice), Franklin D. Roosevelt (three times), Harry S Truman, Lyndon B. Johnson, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton (twice). Overall, between 1946 and 1992, Republican governors served seven terms and Democrats, eight terms.

As of 15 November 2006, nine Republicans and seven Democrats had been elected US Representatives; two seats were undecided as of that date. Republican George Voinovich was elected US senator in 1998 and reelected in 2004, and Democrat Sherrod Brown was elected senator in 2006, defeating Republican incumbent Mike DeWine. Following the 2006 elections, the Republicans dominated the state senate (21 seats to the Democrats’ 12). Republicans retained control over the house—there were 53 Republicans and 46 Democrats in the state house. Twenty-five women were elected to the state legislature in 2006, or 18.9%. Democrat Ted Strickland was elected governor in 2006.

In general, third parties have fared poorly in Ohio. Exceptions were the 1968 presidential election, in which American Independent Party candidate George Wallace earned nearly 12% of Ohio’s popular vote, and the 1992 presidential election, when Independent Ross Perot captured 21% of the vote. In 2000, Republican George W. Bush received 50% of the vote to Democrat Al Gore’s 46%. In 2004, President Bush increased his support slightly in Ohio, to take 51% of the vote to John Kerry’s 48.5%. In 2004 there were 7,973,000 registered voters. In 1998, 17% of registered voters were Democratic, 18% Republican, and 65% unaffiliated or members of other parties.

14 Local Government

Local government in Ohio is exercised by 88 counties, 942 cities and villages, and 1,308 townships. Each county is administered by a board of commissioners. The county government is run by eight officials elected to four-year terms: the auditor or financial officer, whose duties include levying taxes; the clerk of courts, who is elected as clerk of the court of common pleas and also serves as clerk of the county court of appeals; the coroner, who must be a licensed physician; an engineer; a prosecuting attorney; the recorder, who keeps records of deeds, mortgages, and other legal documents; a sheriff; and the treasurer, who collects and disburses public funds.

There are three types of city government: the mayor-council plan, the form adopted by a majority of the state’s cities; the city-manager form, under which the city council appoints a professional manager; and the commission type, in which a board of elected commissioners administers the city government.

In practice, most large cities have adopted a home-rule charter which permits them to select the form of government best suited to their requirements. Townships are governed by three trustees and a clerk, who oversee zoning ordinances, parks, road maintenance, fire protection, and other matters within their jurisdiction.

15 Judicial System

The supreme court of Ohio, the highest court in the state, reviews proceedings of the lower courts and of state agencies. Below the supreme court are 12 courts of appeals, which exercise jurisdiction over their respective judicial districts. Trial courts include 88 courts of common pleas, one in each county.

Probate courts, domestic relations courts, and juvenile courts often function as divisions of the common pleas courts. In 1957, a system of county courts was established by the legislature to replace justices of the peace and mayor’s

courts at the local level. Large cities have their own municipal, juvenile, and police courts. As of December 2004, state and federal prisons in Ohio had 44,806 inmates. The state’s 2004 violent crime rate (murder, rape, robbery, aggravated assault) per 100,000 population was 341.8. Crimes against property (burglary, larceny/ theft, and motor vehicle theft) that year totaled 3,673.2 reported incidents per 100,000 people. Ohio executed 172 persons between 1930 and 1977. From 1976 through 5 May 2006, the state carried out 21 executions, including four in 2005 and two in 2006 (as of 5 May). As of 1 January 2006, 196 persons were under sentence of death.

16 Migration

After the Ohio country became a US territory in 1785, Virginians, Connecticut Yankees, and New Jerseyites began arriving in significant numbers. Tens of thousands of settlers from New England, Pennsylvania, and some southern states thronged into Ohio in subsequent decades. The great migration from the eastern states continued throughout most of the 19th century, and was bolstered by new arrivals from Europe. The Irish came in the 1830s, and many Germans began arriving in the 1840s. Another wave of European immigration brought about 500,000 people a year to Ohio during the 1880s, many of them from southern and eastern Europe. Former slaves left the South for Ohio following the Civil War, and a larger migratory wave brought blacks to Ohio after World War II to work in the industrial cities. In the 1910s, many emigrants from Greece, Albania, and Latvia settled in Akron to work in the rubber industry.

The industrialization of Ohio in the late 19th and the 20th centuries encouraged the migration of Ohioans from the farms to the cities. A more recent development has been the exodus of urbanites from Ohio’s largest cities.

Between 1990 and 1998, Ohio had a net loss of 144,000 in domestic migration and a net gain of 48,000 in international migration. In the period 2000–05, net international migration was 75,142, and net internal migration was -177,150, for a net loss of 102,008 people.

17 Economy

Ohio diversified its industries and enjoyed prosperity during and after World War II. In the 1970s, however, growth began to lag, as manufacturing shrank due to a decline in the demand for durable goods. It was believed that many manufacturing jobs would be permanently lost because of a reorientation of Ohio’s economy from manufacturing toward services. With unemployment reaching peak levels, the state was forced to borrow from the federal government to fund the soaring cost of unemployment benefits.

Recessionary trends in 1980 led to widespread layoffs in the auto parts industry. This bad economic news was partially offset when in 1983 the Honda Motor Company opened Japan’s first US automobile assembly plant at Marysville near Columbus.

Despite its shrinking size, manufacturing remains the dominant industry in Ohio. Transportation equipment and industrial machinery are the largest employers. Manufacturing output peaked in 1998 at 26.1% of gross state product, but by 2001, it had fallen 11.9%. The fall in manufacturing led to a decline in the state’s overall growth rates.

In 2004, Ohio’s gross state product (GSP) was $419.8 billion, of which manufacturing contributed 20.1%, followed by the real estate sector at 10% of GSP, and health care and social assistance services at 7.9% of GSP.

18 Income

In 2005, Ohio ranked 7th among the 50 states and the District of Columbia with a gross state product (GSP) of $442 billion. In 2004, Ohio had a per capita (per person) income of $31,161, ranking Ohio 26th in the nation, below the national average of $33,050. The median annual household income for 2002–04 was $44,160 compared to the national average of $44,473. For the period 2002–04, an estimated 10.8% of the state’s residents lived below the federal poverty level, compared to 12.4% nationwide.

19 Industry

Ohio has been a leading manufacturing state since the mid-l800s. During the last two decades of the 20th century, Ohio became the nation’s leader in machine-tool manufacturing, the second-leading steel producer, and a pioneer in oil refining and the production of automobiles and automotive parts, such as rubber tires. In recent decades, the state has become important as a manufacturer of glassware, soap, matches, paint, business machines, refrigerators—and even comic books and Chinese food products. In 2004, the value of manufacturing shipments was estimated at $258.79 billion.

20 Labor

In April 2006, the seasonally adjusted civilian labor force in Ohio numbered 5,927,300, with approximately 326,000 workers unemployed, yielding an unemployment rate of 5.5%, compared to the national average of 4.7% for the same period. As of April 2006, 4.3% of the labor force was employed in construction; 14.8% in manufacturing; 19.1% in trade, transportation, and public utilities; 5.7% in financial activities; 11.9% in professional and business services; 14.1% in education and health services; 9.3% in leisure and hospitality services; and 14.5% in government.

The first workers’ organization in Ohio was formed by Dayton mechanics in 1811. The Ohio Federation of Labor was founded in 1884. The American Federation of Labor (AFL) was founded in Columbus in 1886. It was not until the 1930s that labor unions in Ohio were formed on a large scale. In 1934, the United Rubber Workers began to organize workers in Akron. In 1937, the United Steelworkers went on strike at seven steel plants in the Youngstown area and won the right to bargain collectively for 50,000 steelworkers.

In 2005, some 804,000 of Ohio’s 5,039,000 employed wage and salary workers were members of unions. This represented 16% of those so employed. The national average was 12%.

21 Agriculture

Despite increasing urbanization and industrialization, agriculture retains its economic importance. Ohio ranked 17th in net farm income among the 50 states in 2005. In that year, the state’s production of crops, dairy products, and livestock was valued at nearly $5.17 billion. The number of farms in 2004 was 77,300. The average farm size was 189 acres (76 hectares).

Grain is grown and cattle and hogs are raised on large farms in the north-central and western parts of the state, while smaller farms predominate in the hilly southeastern region. Truck farming has continued to expand near the large cities.

Ohio was the third-leading producer of tomatoes for processing in 2004, with a total of 177,320 tons. Field crops in 2004 included corn for grain, soybeans, wheat, and oats. The most valuable crops were soybeans and corn, which accounted for 41% of Ohio’s farm receipts in 2004. Ohio farmers also produced 3,232,000 tons of hay and 34,000 tons of sugar beets in 2004.

22 Domesticated Animals

Cattle and hogs are raised in the central and western regions. In 2005, Ohio had 1.3 million cattle and calves, worth over $1.2 billion. In 2004, Ohio farmers had 1.5 million hogs and pigs, valued at $159.5 million. During 2003, Ohio farmers produced nearly 12.9 million pounds (5.8 million kilograms) of sheep and lambs.

Dairying is common in most regions of the state, but especially in the east and southeast. In 2003, Ohio’s 260,000 milk cows produced 4.5 billion pounds (2 billion kilograms) of milk. The poultry industry is dispersed throughout the state. Ohio ranked second among the states in production of eggs with 7.6 billion eggs in 2003. Poultry farmers in Ohio also produced 212.3 million pounds (96.5 million kilograms) of turkey and sold 225.5 million pounds (102.3 million kilograms) of broilers in 2003.

23 Fishing

Commercial fishing, which once flourished in Lake Erie, has declined during the 20th century. In 2004, commercial fish landings brought about 3.9 million pounds (1.8 million kilograms) valued at $2.9 million. The primary Lake Erie fish species are walleye, perch, lake trout, and small mouth bass. In 2001, the commercial fleet had 31 vessels and 19 boats.

A statewide fish hatchery system (of six locations) annually produces and stocks up to 30 million fry and yearling size fish—mostly walleye, saugeye, trout, catfish, bass, sunfish, muskellunge, and pike. In 2004, the state issued 917,902 sport fishing licenses.

24 Forestry

In 2003, Ohio had 7,855,000 acres (3,179,000 hectares) of forestland, representing 30% of the state’s total land area, but only 1% of all US forests. Although scattered throughout the state, hardwood forests are concentrated in the hilly region of the southeast. Commercial timberlands in 2002 totaled 7,568,000 acres (3,063,000 hectares), of which over 90% was privately owned.

The state’s lumber and wood products industry supplies building materials, household furniture, and paper products. In 2004, total lumber production was 379 million board feet. In 2002 there were about 690,000 acres (279,000 hectares) of federal, state, county, and municipal forestland in Ohio.

25 Mining

The value of nonfuel mineral production in Ohio in 2003 was $968 million. Crushed stone and construction sand and gravel were the leading mineral commodities. According to preliminary figures, the combined production of these two commodities accounted for about 57% of the state’s nonfuel value. In 2003, Ohio ranked third in fire clays, fourth in salt and lime, fifth in construction sand and gravel and common clays, and tenth in industrial sand and gravel. In 2003, 68.8 million tons of crushed stone were produced, with a value of $310 million, while construction sand and gravel production totaled 47 million tons and was valued at $242 million. Lime production was 1.7 million metric tons, worth $110 million. Overall, Ohio ranked 15th in the United States in the value of nonfuel mineral production in 2003.

26 Energy and Power

Ohio has abundant energy resources. The state government estimates that Ohio’s coal reserves are sufficient to meet demand for 500 years and that oil and natural gas reserves are also ample. In 2003, installed electric power capacity (utility and nonutility) was 34 million kilowatts and electrical output totaled 146.6 billion kilowatt hours. With energy consumption of 353 million Btu per capita (89 million kilocalories), Ohio ranked 23rd among the 50 states in 2000.

In 2004, the state produced 16,000 barrels per day of crude petroleum. Proven reserves were estimated at approximately 49 million barrels in 2004. About 93.6 billion cubic feet (2.65 billion cubic meters) of natural gas were extracted in 2004, with reserves estimated at 974 billion cubic feet (27.66 billion cubic meters). In 2004, there were 33,828 producing gas wells.

Coalfields lie beneath southeastern Ohio, particularly in Hocking, Athens, and Perry counties. In 2004, Ohio’s coal production was 23.2 million tons. Reserves were estimated at 318 million tons as of 2004. A potential energy source is the rich bed of shale rock, underlying more than half of Ohio, which was estimated to contain more than 200 trillion cubic feet (5.7 trillion cubic meters) of natural gas, but much research is needed before the gas could be extracted economically.

As of 2006, Ohio had two operating nuclear facilities: the Perry plant in Lake County and Davis-Besse plant in Ottawa County.

27 Commerce

Wholesale sales totaled $166.4 billion for 2002; retail sales were $119.7 billion. Ohio ranked seventh in the United States as an exporter of goods originating within the state, at $34 billion in 2005.

28 Public Finance

The state budget is prepared on a biennial basis by the Office of Budget and Management. It is submitted by the governor to the state legislature. The general assembly has nearly total authority in allocating general revenues. The fiscal year is from July 1 to June 30.

Taxes on telecommunications services went into effect 1 January 2004. Ohio’s cities, counties, villages, and school districts can impose sales taxes, and local taxes add 0.25% to 2% to the state rate. The state also collects excise taxes on motor fuels, tobacco products, insurance premiums, public utilities, alcoholic beverages, and pari-mutuels. The state also imposes taxes on estates at rates of 3% to 7%. Other state taxes include a resources severance tax and various license fees.

The state collected $24 billion in taxes in 2005, of which 39.3% came from individual income taxes, 34.1% came from the general sales tax, 12.3% from selective sales taxes, 5.5% from corporate income taxes, 0.2% from property taxes, and 8.6% from other taxes.

William Henry Harrison (b.Virginia, 1773–1841), the ninth US president, died of pneumonia exactly one month after his presidential inauguration. From 1869 to 1881, the White House was occupied by three Ohioans, all Republicans who had served with distinction as Union Army

generals. The first, Ulysses Simpson Grant (1822–1885), became the nation’s hero after victories at Shiloh and Vicksburg and then became the 18th US president, elected in 1868 and reelected in 1872.

Rutherford B. Hayes (1822–1893), the 19th US president, defeated New York’s Governor Samuel J. Tilden in a close and disputed election. James A. Garfield (1831–1881), 20th US president, held office only a few months before being assassinated. Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901), 23d US president, moved toward annexation of Hawaii and enlarged the civil-service system.

OHIO

OHIO. Some 15,000 years ago nomadic hunters known as Paleo-Indians occupied caves and rock cliffs in the Ohio River valley. They gradually disappeared as the mammoths and mastodons they hunted migrated northward with the retreating glacial ice sheets. After 10,000 b.c., archaic Indian peoples lived in Ohio, leaving evidence of their hunting, fishing, and gathering activities. Between 1000 b.c. and 600 a.d. two groups of Mound Builders, the Adena and the Hopewell, both centered in present-day southern Ohio, flourished and left impressive remains in the form of mounds, geometric earthworks, and artifacts (see Indian Mounds). The Adena, first of the two, built thousands of conical burial mounds and effigy mounds, such as the Great Serpent Mound in Adams County. The Hopewell, appearing after 200 b.c., built geometric earthworks and large hilltop enclosures. The decline of these cultures hundreds of years before the Ohio country was reoccupied by historic Indian tribes in the eighteenth century led to nineteenth-century speculation that the Mound Builders constituted a "lost race." Modern archaeology has dispelled that notion and established a firm, if not yet fully understood, connection between the prehistoric and historic native peoples of the Eastern Woodlands, including Ohio.

Iroquois wars against the Huron and Erie Indians in the seventeenth century caused all tribes largely to abandon the Ohio country for about fifty years, while French explorers, including Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, explored the region and claimed it for New France. Thought to be the first white man to see the Ohio River, in 1669, La Salle's exploration brought French traders into the area in the early eighteenth century but no permanent French settlements. Various Indian tribes, especially the Shawnee, Miami, Delaware, Ottawa, and Wyandot, as well as British traders, also entered Ohio in the early eighteenth century. British colonial interests and claims in the Ohio Valley, especially those of Virginia, grew stronger by the 1740s and led to the outbreak of war between Britain and France in 1754. Known in North America as the French and Indian War, it found most of the Indians fighting with the French, who enjoyed the initial advantage in the Ohio country. Gradually the British turned the tide in their favor, and the Treaty of Paris in 1763 that ended the war gave them almost total possession of all of mainland North America east of the Mississippi River, including Ohio.

British attempts to limit the westward expansion of settlement across the Appalachian Mountains were mostly unsuccessful, and violence between Indians and white frontier settlers finally led to full-scale war by 1774, when Virginia royal governor Lord Dunmore led an expedition against the Indians along the Ohio River. The American Revolution soon overtook and subsumed these frontier conflicts in the larger struggle between Britain and its American colonies. During the war for American independence the Ohio Indians were allied with the British and fought against American forces entering the region from Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Kentucky. One tragic episode was the massacre at Gnadenhutten in 1782 of ninety-six peaceful Indian men, women, and children, Delawares who had been converted to Christianity by Moravian missionaries.

From Territory to State

In the early 1780s, Virginia, Massachusetts, and Connecticut ceded most of their western land claims to the new national government, and Ohio became part of the Northwest Territory, which also included the later states of Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin. The Northwest Ordinance of 1787 established a government for the territory with three stages of development leading to eventual statehood. First, a territorial governor and other officials appointed by Congress proclaimed laws and exercised executive authority. General Arthur St. Clair held the office of governor throughout Ohio's territorial period. In 1798 the second stage began when the "free male inhabitants" elected the first territorial legislature, which subsequently wrote the state's first constitution, paving the way for Ohio's admission as the seventeenth state on 1 March 1803. The first permanent white settlement, Marietta, appeared in 1788, and Cincinnati (originally Losantiville) followed later in the same year. Various land companies and speculators, most importantly the Ohio Company of Associates, the Connecticut Land Company, and John Cleves Symmes, began the process of buying and selling Ohio lands, but extensive settlement could not proceed until the threat of Indian attacks was ended.

In the early 1790s, several U.S. military campaigns against the Ohio Indians took place. At first they suffered major defeats, including the loss of more than 600 under the command of St. Clair in November 1791. A new expedition led by General Anthony Wayne, culminating in his victory at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in August 1794, vanquished Indian resistance and led to the Greenville Treaty in 1795. The Indian tribes ceded all of Ohio for white settlement except for the northwest corner; these remaining Indian lands were gradually yielded in subsequent treaties and the last group of Indians left Ohio in 1843.

Territorial governor St. Clair, a Federalist, clashed repeatedly with the emerging Republican party led by Thomas Worthington and Edward Tiffin of Chillicothe over issues of local versus federal control and executive versus legislative authority. With the election of Thomas Jefferson as president in 1800 the national political trend began to favor the interests of Ohio's Jeffersonian Republicans. The new state's boundaries gave political advantage to the mostly Republican Scioto Valley and Chillicothe, the first state capital. Tiffin was elected the first governor and Worthington one of the first pair of U.S. senators. The first state constitution gave the right to vote to all white males regardless of wealth and sharply limited the power of the governor over the legislature. The 1804 "Black Code" denied free blacks in the state the right to vote as well as many other political and civil rights, and although it was partially repealed in 1849, it remained in some form until the close of the Civil War.

Nineteenth-Century Ohio

The peace following the War of 1812 finally ended all threats of Indian or British resistance to American expansion in the lands north and west of the Ohio River, and Ohio's population began to grow rapidly. Cincinnati became the largest city on the Ohio frontier, drawing immigrants from all over the United States as well as from Europe.

Despite the overwhelming predominance of the Republican Party until the late 1820s, Ohio's political leaders divided constantly over regional, economic, and legal issues. The state's economy boomed after the War of 1812. However, the panic of 1819, brought on in part by actions of the Second Bank of the United States in attempting to end excessive local speculative banking practices, caused widespread economic hardship. Some state leaders favored an aggressive program of state aid for internal improvements, especially canals, to boost the economy. Two major canals were completed across the state from Lake Erie to the Ohio River, the Ohio and Erie Canal from Cleveland to Portsmouth in 1832 and the Miami and Erie Canal from Cincinnati to Toledo in 1843. Various branches and feeders connected to the main canal lines at different points in the state. During this same period the National Road was constructed from east to west across the central part of Ohio, stimulating the growth of Columbus, chosen in 1816 to be the permanent site of the state capital because of its central location and the financial support it offered for erecting public buildings. Before the Civil War, Ohio for a time led the nation in the production of corn, wheat, beef, pork, and wool.

By the late 1820s, Ohio's dominant Jeffersonian Republican Party divided and gave way to the spirited competition between Whigs and Democrats that lasted into the 1850s. The Whigs favored government aid for internal improvements, a more highly regulated banking system, and greater development of a public school system. The Democrats emphasized limits on the size and power of government and protection of personal liberty rather than vigorous social reform. They had the greatest appeal to small farmers and artisans and Catholics wary of evangelical Protestant activism in matters such as temperance, Sabbath observance, and public education. The rudiments of a system of public schools began to take shape by the mid-1840s. Denominational competition and town boosterism led to the building of dozens of small private colleges.

The slavery controversy entered Ohio politics in the 1830s as abolitionists did battle with pro-Southern conservatives for the allegiance of the state's citizens. The state became a major center of the Underground Railroad because of its key location between the South and Canada. Anti-abolitionist mobs in Cincinnati and elsewhere indicated powerful opposition in some quarters, but fear of the political power of Southern slaveowners helped to turn many Ohioans against slavery, or at least its further expansion. This led to third-party activity in the 1840s and early 1850s by the Liberty and then Free Soil parties, which helped to bring about the downfall of the Whigs. This realignment led to the formation of the Republican Party in Ohio in 1854 to oppose the Kansas- Nebraska Act and repeal of the Missouri Compromise. Republicans immediately became the dominant political force in Ohio and largely remained so for the rest of the nineteenth century.

By 1840, Ohio's population had swelled to over 1.5 million, making it the third most populous state in the union, and thousands of Irish and German immigrants in the ensuing decades kept the state's growth at a high level. Industries such as coal, iron, textiles, meatpacking, and agricultural machinery appeared even before the Civil War.

Ohio became one of the main sources of economic strength and manpower for the North during the Civil War. Ohioans who served in the Union Army numbered 350,000, and close to 35,000 died as a result of the conflict. An impressive number of Union military and civilian leaders came from the Buckeye state, including Ulysses S. Grant, William Tecumseh Sherman, Philip Sheridan, James McPherson, William S. Rosecrans, and Rutherford B. Hayes among the generals and Salmon P. Chase and Edwin M. Stanton in Lincoln's cabinet. The only military action that took place in the state was Confederate cavalry leader John Hunt Morgan's daring raid across southern Ohio in the summer of 1863.

As the Ohio economy was transformed during the nineteenth century, state government and politics evolved at a slower pace. A new state constitution in 1851 increased the number of elected offices, but a proposed constitution in 1873 that would have made more significant reforms was rejected. In 1867, Ohio voters rejected black male suffrage, but this became law anyway through the Fifteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution ratified in 1870. Large cities such as Cincinnati and Cleveland experienced rule by corrupt local bosses in the late nineteenth century, and the state legislature was increasingly influenced by corporate business interests. However, Ohio contributed seven U.S. presidents in this era, all Republicans, including Grant, Hayes, James A. Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, William Howard Taft, and Warren G. Harding.

The growth of big business in late-nineteenth-and early-twentieth-century Ohio centered on the development of energy resources (coal, natural gas, and oil refining) and industrial manufacturing (steel, rubber, glass, auto parts, and machinery.) The spectacular rise of John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil Company, founded in Cleveland in 1870, characterized the new economic era. Northern Ohio became the most heavily industrialized part of the state, with Cleveland (iron, steel, heavy machinery), Akron (tire and rubber), Toledo (glass, auto

parts), and Youngstown (steel) leading the way. But other cities and regions in the state also developed industrially in this period. Cincinnati remained a diversified manufacturing center, and Dayton was home to National Cash Register (NCR) and Delco (part of General Motors). Northwest Ohio experienced a boom in oil and gas production and new railroad lines were built through southeastern Ohio coal fields and throughout the rest of the state. At the beginning of the twentieth century Ohio led the nation in the number of miles of interurban rail track—electric trains that carried both rural and urban passengers between small towns and large cities. By 1900, Cleveland had surpassed Cincinnati to become Ohio's largest and most ethnically diverse city. Seventy-five percent of its residents were first-or second-generation immigrants, many from southern and eastern Europe, and forty different languages were spoken in the city.

Workers' wages and labor conditions varied considerably across Ohio industry, but the size and impersonal conditions of factories bred increasing worker discontent. Some companies tried to counter this with improved employee benefits, but still Ohio workers began to turn toward unions to protect their interests. The Knights of Labor's efforts at mass unionization in the 1870s and 1880s had some success in Ohio, but this approach could not survive the depression of 1893. The American Federation of Labor was founded in Columbus in 1886 but limited its membership to the skilled trades. Hocking Valley coal miners went on strike in 1884, leading to violence, but ultimately the coal operators prevailed. The miners regrouped and in 1890 helped to form the United Mine Workers of America. The radical Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) supported a strike by Akron rubber workers in 1913. That strike also proved unsuccessful due to strong employer opposition, as did a major steel strike in 1919. Ohio industrial workers did not make major gains in union representation and bargaining until the great labor upheavals of the 1930s.

Twentieth-Century Ohio

The beginning of the twentieth century brought continued economic growth and innovation. Orville and Wilbur Wright of Dayton made the first successful flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on 17 December 1903. Another Daytonian, Charles F. Kettering, developed the self-starting engine for automobiles. Politically the new century found Ohio's large cities in the midst of struggles for progressive reform. Two outstanding mayors, Samuel M. ("Golden Rule") Jones in Toledo, and Tom Johnson in Cleveland, attacked corruption, instituted civil service reform, and generally made their cities healthier, safer, and more efficient for residents. In Columbus the Congregational minister and Social Gospel pioneer Washington Gladden led similar efforts. The progressive impulse spread throughout the state and led to significant actions at the 1912 state constitutional convention. Forty-one constitutional amendments were submitted to the voters, and thirty-three of them were approved on 3 September 1912. They included the power of citizen initiative and referendum in making state laws, home rule charters for cities, the direct primary, a workers compensation system, and greater regulation of natural resources.

Progressive reform continued at the state level under Democratic governor James M. Cox, who served from 1913 to 1915 and 1917 to 1921. He worked to implement the new constitutional provisions against corporate opposition and led the effort to consolidate and modernize rural school districts. However, in the stirred patriotic atmosphere of World War I, Cox advocated a state law, later held unconstitutional, banning the teaching of German in any school below the eighth grade. The Democrats selected Cox to run for president in 1920, with Franklin D. Roosevelt as his running mate, but another Ohioan, Senator Warren G. Harding, swept to victory in a landslide.

After some difficult postwar adjustments, Ohio experienced economic prosperity in the 1920s, especially in industries associated with automobile production or electrical equipment. Large numbers of African Americans from the Deep South and whites from Appalachia migrated north to Ohio cities seeking industrial employment. Blacks in particular were restricted by segregation customs in obtaining housing and the use of public accommodations. Racial and ethnic tensions surfaced in some locations, as did questions relating to the legal enforcement of prohibition. The revived Ku Klux Klan of the 1920s was very active in several Ohio cities, using its power to elect some public officials. However, by the latter part of the decade it was in decline, weakened by internal scandals and the firm opposition of many religious, racial, and ethnic leaders.

Highly industrialized Ohio was hit hard by the Great Depression of the 1930s. In 1932 an estimated 37 percent of all Ohio workers were unemployed. Industrial unemployment in northern Ohio cities ranged from fifty to eighty percent at its peak. Democrats returned to power in state government and looked to Franklin D. Roosevelt's administration for solutions. Most of the New Deal programs had a significant impact on Ohio, including the largest number of recipients of any state of relief from the Works Progress Administration (WPA). Organized labor stirred with the formation of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) to recruit among industrial workers. Its first major success was the 1936 sit-down strike by Akron's rubber workers. Strikes by steelworkers against Republic, Youngstown Sheet and Tube, and others in 1937 led to more violence and a temporary labor setback. World War II, however, brought union recognition and collective bargaining to the "Little Steel" companies.

Ohio played a key role in America's "arsenal of democracy" during World War II. About one million workers produced goods for the war effort, especially in aircraft, ordnance, and shipbuilding. Some 839,000 Ohioans served in the U.S. military and 23,000 were killed or missing in action. After the war, Ohio's industries worked at full capacity to meet pent-up consumer demand. The Saint Lawrence Seaway, completed in 1959, expanded Great Lakes shipping, and lock and dam improvements on the Ohio River maintained that historic waterway's commercial importance.

Between 1940 and 1960 Ohio's population grew by 40 percent, faster than the national average. However, in the 1970s and 1980s aging plants, high labor and energy costs, and increased foreign competition converged to deal Ohio's industrial economy a severe blow. Most of the large cities lost population and jobs to newer suburbs. The 1990s brought a return to growth, but Ohio's 2000 population of 11,353,000 was only six percent higher than its 1970 level, while the United States overall had grown by thirty-eight percent in that same period. Columbus had replaced Cleveland as the state's largest city.

After 1960, Ohio greatly expanded its system of public higher education, one of the achievements of the long-serving Republican governor James A. Rhodes (1963–1971, 1975–1983). However, he is also remembered for his controversial decision to send National Guard troops to quell student protests at Kent State University in 1970, which led to the death of four students. By the 1960s environmental protection had become a serious issue, as Ohio struggled to undo decades of neglect in this area. In 1997 the state supreme court declared the state's method of funding public schools inequitable and forced the General Assembly to begin to allocate increased funds to poorer districts. Ohio faced its approaching bicentennial in 2003 with both serious needs to be met and a renewed sense of optimism in doing so.

French and English colonial ambitions clashed in the Ohio Valley almost from the beginning, but for the Indians it was the Middle Ground, a vast territory used for hunting, trading, settlement, and war. At the time of the Revolution, the Indian town at Mingo Bottom, abandoned about 1779, was the only permanent settlement on the west bank of the Ohio River in what is now Ohio, though there were many seasonal towns along the river and many permanent towns on the east bank and along tributary rivers and streams. Gnadenhutten (see gnadenhutten monument), Schoenbrunn Village, and Salem were established by the Moravians in the early 1770s but were soon wiped out by the Patriots.

Historic sites of the Revolution are almost all associated with the punitive expeditions sent out in reprisal for long-range raids from Detroit and the Sandusky region against the recently established settlements across the Ohio. Most of the state's historic sites are associated with the Indian wars after the Revolution and with the interesting prehistoric period, but these are outside the scope of this guide.

Tourist information is available from the Ohio Development Department's Division of Travel and Tourism. Website: www.discoverohio.com; phone: (614) 466-8844. The Ohio Division of Parks and Recreation is also a helpful source. The major statewide historical agency is the Ohio Historical Society, 1982 Velma Avenue, Columbus, Ohio 43211. Website: www.ohiohistory.org; phone: (614) 297-2300. The Historical Society publishes a vistors guide that bears information on its Revolutionary War past. It is available free by contacting the organization.

Chillicothe Towns

Chillicothe Towns. The Chillicothe division of the Shawnee always called its principal town Chillicothe. Because they distinguished themselves as the Indian nation most hostile to U.S. expansion in the Ohio Valley, being identified with most of the destruction on the Kentucky frontier and therefore the principal objective of punitive expeditions, the Shawnee had their principal town destroyed frequently. Hence three separate places were known at various times during the eighteenth century as Chillicothe.

The first was near the present Chillicothe (founded 1796). This Shawnee town was where the invading white forces under Lord Dunmore linked up in 1774 (after the Battle of Point Pleasant, West Virginia) and forced Chief Cornstalk to make peace. It was destroyed by Kentuckians in 1787.

The new Chillicothe, where Daniel Boone was a captive in 1778 and the place destroyed in George Rogers Clark's expedition of August 1780, was on the Little Miami River around modern Xenia (east of Dayton).

The next Chillicothe, which Clark came back to destroy in another punitive operation in November 1782, was on the Great Miami River where today's Piqua stands. Under the latter name it had previously been burned by Clark, in August 1780. This historic site is covered in more detail under Piqua Towns. Of particular note is the Mound City Group National Monument, 3 miles north of modern Chillicothe on Route 104. Two thousand years ago the Hopewell people built the largest earthwork necropolis in the world, much of which was leveled during World War II to build Camp Sherman. Today the remains are preserved within this park, which is open year-round from dawn to dusk. The visitors center has an excellent introduction to Hopewell culture and is open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Phone: (614) 774-1125. The largest of these Hopewell mounds is at Seip Mound State Memorial, 17 miles west of Chillicothe on U.S. 50; it is open every day, dawn to dusk. Phone: (614) 297-2300. Many of the objects excavated from these mounds can be found at the Ohio Historical Center, 1982 Velma Avenue in Columbus (Exit 111 off I-71), open every day but Monday. Phone: (614) 297-2300. The famous Serpent Mound State Memorial is in the town of Locust Grove on Route 73, 20 miles south of Bainbridge and the I-50. The park's hours are variable, and it is best to call first: (800) 752-2757.

Defiance

Defiance, Maumee River, Defiance County. Birthplace of Chief Pontiac, this was also the site of a French mission (1650). The present city of sixteen thousand people is named for Fort Defiance, built by "Mad Anthony" Wayne in 1794. Apparently quite a fortress, it is reported by the Ohio History Center that Lieutenant John Boyer, an officer in Wayne's army, claimed "the fort could protect the American soldiers from the English, the Indians, and all the devils in hell." Vestiges of the earthworks are in a city park.

Fort Laurens

Fort Laurens, Tuscarawas River, near Bolivar, Tuscarawas County. Its site preserved in the 81-acre state memorial park, Fort Laurens, built in the winter of 1778 to 1779 and held with great difficulty through the summer of 1779, is the only Revolutionary War fort erected by United States forces in what is now the state of Ohio. It was designed by a professional military engineer, almost certainly Lieutenant Colonel the Chevalier de Cambray-Digny (1751–1822), who was then assigned temporarily to the American headquarters at Fort Pitt as chief engineer.

In one of several poorly managed Patriot attempts to undertake large-scale "search and destroy" operations from Fort Pitt toward Detroit, the inept General Lachlan McIntosh reached this spot in November 1778 with 1,200 troops. It then being too late in the season to continue, the decision was made to build a fort that would be a forward base for continuing the offensive in 1779 and a strategic outpost on the frontier. The fort was not finished when McIntosh withdrew his main force in early December. Colonel John Gibson remained to garrison the isolated post with 150 men of the Thirteenth Virginia Regiment, who completed the fort a few weeks later.

The supply situation became increasingly critical, until the fort finally was abandoned in August 1779. Meanwhile, Gibson withstood one serious siege undertaken by Wyandots and Mingoes with some support from other tribes, and probably with some leadership supplied by white renegades. The Indians withdrew after twenty-five days of sustained effort. According to some accounts, when both sides had been living for some time on starvation rations, Gibson tricked the Indians into believing he had provisions to spare, and agreed to their proposal to lift the siege in return for a barrel of flour and some meat. On 19 March 1779 a relief column of five hundred troops reached Fort Laurens, but the emergency had passed. Plans for renewing the offensive into the Sandusky region were abandoned; Major Frederick Vernon was left to garrison Fort Laurens with about one hundred Pennsylvania troops, but by the middle of May most of these were sent back because they could not be fed.

The remaining twenty-five troops were on the verge of starvation when saved by a supply column in late May. About two weeks later seventy-five fresh troops reinforced the garrison, Vernon was relieved, and Lieutenant Colonel Campbell took command. (Presumably this was Richard Campbell of the Ninth Virginia, whose colonel at this time was John Gibson.) When Colonel Daniel Brodhead succeeded McIntosh in March as commander of the Western Department, he started planning the evacuation of the untenable fort. It was not destroyed, however, because there were hopes that it could be reoccupied. After the Revolution it was demolished.

Fort Laurens State Memorial is managed by the Friends of Fort Laurens Foundation and is located 0.25 mile south of Bolivar off Ohio 212 where it dead-ends at Fort Laurens Road. It is open from Memorial Day to Labor Day from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Wednesday through Saturday, and 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday. (Closed Monday and Tuesday.) Phone: (330) 874-2059. The Friends of Fort Laurens Foundation was formed in 1994 and aims to further revitalize this site, the only standing Revolutionary War fort in the state. A few miles southeast is Zoar Village State Memorial, commemorating a settlement established in 1817 by German refugees.

Gnadenhutten Monument

Gnadenhutten Monument, Gnadenhutten, Tuscarawas County. A 9-acre state historic memorial is a mile south of where the Moravian mission was established about 1773. Two others, Schoenbrunn Village and Salem, were created about the same time. The Reverend David Zeisberger decided in 1777 that his white missionaries would have to abandon their prospering communities in the no-man's-land of what is now eastern Ohio, but the peaceful Indians tried to remain. In 1781 the Hurons, for various reasons, evacuated these survivors, moving them initially to the Sandusky region and then farther west. Prominently and honorably identified with these actions was the Huron chief of Sandusky, Half King (not the Seneca chief Half King, who collaborated with Washington in 1753 and 1754). About ninety Moravian Indians were revisiting their abandoned settlements in the spring of 1782 to gather corn when they were set upon by the militia of Colonel David Williamson and senselessly massacred, the details of which action mark one of the most horrific scenes in American military history. After luring the unsuspecting, friendly, and, ironically, Christian Indians with talk of protecting them from possible enemies, a quick capture ensued. Williamson and his troops held a trial on the spot. When "guilt" was concluded, another short deliberation took place wherein the troops were asked to vote whether to take the villagers back to Pittsburgh or to kill them. The soldiers assembled in a line and were informed that a vote for leniency could be cast by taking a step forward. A minority of only sixteen troops took a step to spare their lives and the fate of the villagers—none of whom harbored an inkling that they were afoul of anything unlawful or immoral, nor that they would be judged as such—was sealed. Bound and crammed into a building, they were given a day in which to prepare to die. The following morning the men were separated into one house and the woman and children into another. It was decided that the Indians would die by "scalping," a process of killing that involved the hammering of the skull with a mallet, and finally, the cutting and tearing of the scalp (many of the soldiers desired "trophies" to take home). First, the men were killed. Then the soldiers entered the second house and slaughtered the woman and children in the same brutal manner. When an executioner's arm would grow weary of the pounding, another soldier would be waiting earnestly beside to take over. Two young boys escaped and were able to tell their story, further inflaming white settler/Indian relations. In total, 29 men, 27 women, and 34 children were killed. Williamson's militia then destroyed the crops and the Moravian settlements.

These atrocities of 7 to 8 March 1782 set off a new campaign of Loyalist-Indian retaliation against the Kentucky frontier, to which the Patriots responded with the badly bungled Crawford Expedition to Upper Sandusky.

The Gnadenhutten Historical Park and Museum site is a short distance south of modern Gnadenhutten, which is on U.S. 36. Phone: (740) 254-4143. It is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and features many artifacts from the settlement and some authentically reconstructed buildings. A 35-foot high memorial now stands to acknowledge those murdered in the massacre.

Marietta

Marietta, Ohio River, Washington County. Revolutionary War generals Rufus Putnam and Benjamin Tupper of Massachusetts formed the Ohio Company of Associates in 1787 and, jointly with a group of New York speculators (the Scioto Company of William Duer), arranged to purchase some 1.8 million acres around what became the town of Marietta. (The federal government ended up giving most of this land to the Associates and to individual settlers.) Rufus Putnam arrived with about fifty pioneers in April 1788 to establish the settlement, naming it for Queen Marie Antoinette in recognition of French aid to the American cause during the Revolution. The heart of the settlement was the large fort called Campus Martius, which housed many of the inhabitants until Indian troubles ended with the Treaty of Greenville in 1795. Putnam's home, built around 1788 and used for many years as his office, is the only original structure surviving. It is enclosed in a wing of the imposing Campus Martius State Memorial Museum. Phone: (740) 373-3750. At 326 Front Street is the fifteen-room brick house built in the 1810s by Return Jonathan Meigs, Jr., son of the Revolutionary War hero (see meigs house site under Connecticut) and an early governor of Ohio. Many Revolutionary War veterans are buried in Mound Cemetery on Fifth and Scammel Streets not far from downtown Marietta, which contains a perfect example of a prehistoric Indian mound.

Mingo Bottom

Mingo Bottom, Ohio River. A detached band of Iroquois that had left the main body before 1750 was living on the Ohio just before the Revolution. Their town, a well-known landmark, was about where today's Mingo Junction is located, a few miles below Steubenville. In 1766 the town numbered sixty families and was the only permanent settlement—red or white—on the Ohio River between the western area of Pennsylvania and Louisville, Kentucky. The site shows on historical maps as Mingo Bottom.

Piqua Towns

Piqua Towns. The Piqua division of the Shawnee occupied several towns in Ohio called Piqua. (Like the Chillicothe [see chillicothe towns], they had the custom of taking this name with them.) According to the Handbook of American Indians, the Piqua town in which Tecumseh was born was on the north side of Mad River about 5 miles west of the present Springfield in Clark County. Destroyed by George Rogers Clark in August 1780, it was never rebuilt. The Indians then established Upper and Lower Piqua on the Great Miami River, the latter on the site of modern Piqua and the former about 3 miles to the north. Upper Piqua was on the site of the former Miami town of Pickawillany. Here is the Old Johnson Trading Post, built in 1749, the year Celoron de Blainville passed through on the expedition claiming the Ohio Valley for France. When the French started their move to take physical possession of the Ohio Valley, the first overt act was the capture of Pickawillany, in which all the defenders were killed (1752). Two years later the Seven Years' War started.

No distinction is made in most accounts between the two places on the Great Miami called Upper and Lower Piqua, although old maps clearly indicate that the larger one was at the mouth of Loramie Creek, several miles above today's Piqua (old Lower Piqua). The latter became one of several places called Chillicothe during the Revolutionary era. The present city on the site adopted the old name Piqua in 1823. In the vicinity are the Old Johnson Trading Post and the Clark Monument, said to be on the site of the Indian village destroyed in 1780. The Piqua Historic Indian Museum is part of the Piqua Historical Area, a 200-acre park built on the former farm of John Johnston, United States Indian agent from 1812 to 1829. In addition to a recreation of the pre-Revolutionary Pickawillany trading post, and an Indian mound, costumed interpreters and craft demonstrators present farm life in the early Republic. The museum, built to resemble General Anthony Wayne's Fort Piqua, offers displays on eighteenth-century Indian culture. There is also a restored mile-long section of the Miami and Erie Canal off the museum's patio. The Museum is 3 miles northwest of Piqua on Route 66 (take westbound U.S. 36 Exit off of I-75). Hours vary with the season; phone: (800) 752-2619.

Schoenbrunn Village

Schoenbrunn Village, near New Philadelphia, Tuscarawas County. Moravian missionaries and Christianized Indians from Pennsylvania founded the first permanent white settlement in Ohio at this place in 1772. It prospered until the Revolution, writing Ohio's first civil code and building its first Christian church and schoolhouse. In 1777 military threats from the Patriots forced the town's abandonment. The site was lost and forgotten until members of the surviving Moravian church dug into their archives in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania to find a map from which its location could be determined. In 1923 the Ohio State Archaeological and Historical Society acquired the site and started reconstruction on the original foundations. The church, school, gardens, and seventeen cabins have been rebuilt and furnished in the 190-acre Schoenbrunn Village State Memorial. The cemetery and museum are also open to the public. Every summer the site offers an outdoor pageant, "Trumpet in the Land," retelling the history of Schoenbrunn and Gnadenhutten. Phone: (800) 752-2711.

The site is on Ohio Route 259, 3 miles southeast of New Philadelphia. From I-77 it is reached by using the U.S. 250 bypass to the Schoenbrunn Exit, then driving west on U.S. 250A and Ohio 259 to the park.

Sun Watch Archaeological Park

Sun Watch Archaeological Park, Dayton, offers a unique and fascinating reconstruction of the Indian culture of the region on one of the most important archaeological sites in Ohio. The park is a National Historic Landmark and is located on West River Road; take the Moses Boulevard Exit from I-75 and turn left onto West River Road. The park is open Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, noon to 5 p.m. Phone: (513) 268-8199.

Upper Sandusky

Upper Sandusky and vicinity, Wyandot County. Colonel William Crawford's Sandusky Expedition in the summer of 1782 was a disaster of the type Americans have come to know better since World War II: a "search and destroy" operation compromised from the start and annihilated by an enemy having the benefit of good military intelligence, in both senses of that term. The fiasco was particularly tragic because of the horribly cruel death of Colonel Crawford, who had been a friend of Washington since their first association on the frontier in 1749, when the latter had started surveying the vast holdings of Lord Fairfax in the Shenandoah Valley (see washington's lands and wheeling under West Virginia).

Crawford had long been urging that Patriot forces invade the Sandusky region to destroy this base of Loyalist-Indian raids. But it was not until 1782 that the expedition finally was authorized. The old frontiersman thought the time was about three years too late insofar as his personal involvement was concerned, but he reluctantly agreed to lead it. The five hundred volunteers assembled at Mingo Bottom, elected leaders, and started their 150-mile advance under the continuous surveillance of the enemy. Their route passed through the Moravian settlements where the Gnadenhutten massacre (see gnadenhutten monument) had recently taken place. First contact was made on 4 June in the vicinity of today's town of Upper Sandusky.

Enemy forces initially comprised about one hundred of Butler's Rangers under Captain William Caldwell, these famous refugees from New York's Mohawk Valley being then stationed at Detroit. Caldwell was supported by about two hundred Indians with Delaware and Wyandot chiefs and the notorious frontier soldiers Simon Girty, Alexander McKee, and Mathew Elliott. Both sides restricted their action this first day to long-range fire, in which the Patriots appeared to have the advantage. But what Crawford did not realize was that Caldwell was waiting for reinforcements from Detroit. These came in the form of additional Rangers with two cannon. Additional Indians also arrived, about 140 Shawnee plus others. Threatened with envelopment, the Patriots started withdrawing soon after dark, but by this time they were under heavy fire and almost encircled. A panic developed. Most of the Americans managed to extricate themselves. After a harassed retreat of about 20 miles to the southeast, Crawford made a stand near Olentangy Creek in the early afternoon of 6 June. His second in command, Major David Williamson (who had fallen only five votes short of winning Crawford's top leadership post), led most of the troops to safety. Colonel Crawford was captured with his nephew, William Crawford, and his son-in-law, Major William Harrison (of the famous Virginia family). All were tortured to death, the fury of the Indians being particularly savage because of the recent atrocity by white troops at Gnadenhutten.

The details of Colonel Crawford's torture were reported by Dr. John Knight, who was forced to witness the spectacle while waiting his turn, but who then escaped.

Battle Island Monument marks the general location of the initial skirmish between Crawford and Caldwell on 4 June 1782. The monument, enclosed by a metal fence and maintained by the local Lion's Club, is on the southeast side of Ohio 67 about a mile from its intersection just north of Upper Sandusky with U.S. 23 and Ohio 53. On the Sandusky River a short distance to the northeast is the 3-acre Indian Mill (1820) and Park. The Indian Mill State Memorial is located 3 miles northeast of Upper Sandusky on Country Road 47. The first contact between opposing forces on 4 June was made in this area.

The place where Colonel Crawford was tortured to death is marked by a monument on the south side of Tymochtee Creek off County Road 29 about 0.75 mile east of Crawford. On private land but open to the public, the monument is reached by following Ohio 199 north-northeast from Upper Sandusky to Crawford (about 7 miles from the center of the former town), then turning east on County Road 29 to the point where Road T30C comes in from the north. A highway marker helpful for directions and historical information is located on Route 199. A good source of information is the Wyandot County Historical Society located at 130 South 7th Street in Upper Sandusky. Phone: (419) 294-3857.

Upper Sandusky is also home to the Wyandot Mission Church, 200 East Church Street, where the African American minister John Stewart worked with the Wyandot in the aftermath of their devastating defeat at the hands of the United States. The mission is a Methodist historical shrine and can be viewed by appointment; phone: (419) 294-4841.

Zane (Betty) Memorial

Zane (Betty) Memorial, Martins Ferry, Belmont County. The heroism of Elizabeth "Betty" Zane, sister of the founder of Wheeling, West Virginia, helped save that place from capture in 1782. Her memorial is at the Fourth Street entrance to Old Walnut Grove Cemetery, where she and many Revolutionary War soldiers are buried. Her brother, Ebenezer Zane (1747–1812), was the first white settler on the site of Wheeling before the Revolution (1769) and a famous pioneer after the Revolution in what is now Ohio. He opened the road from Wheeling to Limestone (now Maysfield, Kentucky) that became famous as Zane's Trace. The settlement he established in 1799 on a section of land where his road crossed the Muskingum River was the state capital from 1810 to 1812. Originally called Westbourne, it was renamed Zanesville. Martins Ferry is said to be the oldest continuously occupied white settlement in Ohio, having been founded before 1785. (See also wheeling, west virginia.)
