A Brief History of Ohio

Admitted to the Union in 1803, Ohio has a long and esteemed history in the U.S. It is often referred to as the “Mother of Presidents,” as seven of the nation’s presidents were born in the state. The state played a highly significant role during the Civil War, with both the Ohio River and the state’s railroads serving as primary sources in the transportation of ship supplies and military troops. Ohio boasts plenty of notable “firsts” in its diverse history, too: the first ambulance was developed in Cincinnati in 1865, Cleveland was the home of the country’s first traffic light in 1914, Akron was the first city to employ police vehicles, and a Dayton resident was the inventor of the cash register. And as any true Ohioan knows, the Cincinnati Reds were the first professional baseball team in the country.
