The States Of Modern: Ohio

Yes, that’s right.  I’ve skipped North Dakota.  You’ll see why in a few weeks. This week’s block is beautiful Ohio.  The name, Ohio, comes from the Iroquois word, Ohi-yo, meaning great river.  Ohio as a US state was part of the Northwest Territory.  Its nickname, The Buckeye State, comes from the many Buckeye Trees that once covered the Ohio’s hills and plains.  These trees have nuts with markings that resemble the eyes of a deer.

States Ohio

 

The Ohio State Flag is the only US State Flag which is not rectangular!  It has a Swallowtail or Burgee shape and is the inspiration for our Ohio Block.

Some Ohio Facts:

Ohio: The Buckeye State
Admission to Statehood: March 1, 1803 (17th State)
State Bird: Cardinal
Capital: Columbus
Ohio’s state flag was adopted in 1902. The Ohio burgee, as the swallowtail design is properly called, was designed by John Eisemann. The large blue triangle represents Ohio’s hills and valleys, and the stripes represent roads and waterways. The 13 stars grouped about the circle represent the original states of the union; the 4 stars added to the peak of the triangle symbolize that Ohio was the 17th state admitted to the union. The white circle with its red center not only represents the “O” in Ohio, but also suggests Ohio’s famous nickname, “The Buckeye State”.
State Flower: Scarlet Carnation
Largest Cities:  Columbus, Cleveland, Cincinnati
