OHIO was admitted to Statehood on March 1, 1803
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 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"

The origin of state's name was from the Iroquois Indian word for "good river".  The Capitol of Ohio is COLUMBUS, Franklin Co., Ohio

State Symbols:

  • State animal: White-tailed Deer

  • State bird: Cardinal

  • State capital: Columbus

  • State flower: Scarlet Carnation

  • State wildflower: Large white trillium (Trillium grandiflorum)

  • State insect: Ladybug Beetle

  • State song: "Beautiful Ohio"

  • State rock song: "Hang On Sloopy"

  • State tree: Buckeye

  • State fossil: Trilobite genus Isotelus

  • State drink: Tomato juice

  • State reptile: Black racer snake

  • State gemstone: Ohio Flint

State motto: "With God all things are possible"

  • Unofficial Motto: "So much to discover" adopted as part of state bicentennial campaign

IN MEMORIAL:
I discovered some very sad news:
I had two helpers when I first started this website.
Their names were
Nancy Boyd Hannah
and Linda Blue Dietz.
They both decided they could not work on the website any more
and so I kept them as friends on my FaceBook.
I haven't talked to them much since I moved to Illinois (temporarily)
so I didn't know.
I decided to chat with Linda and found that she had passed away!
So I decided to tell Nancy about it and found
She had passed away as well.
I knew Linda was in bad health but I had no idea that Nancy may have been in bad health as well.
I am in shock.
May they both Rest in Peace.
And my prayers go out to their families for healing.
