Ohio Real Estate
A state of the north-central United
States in the Great Lakes region. It was admitted as the 17th state in
1803. In prehistoric times Mound Builders inhabited the region, which
was first explored by La Salle in 1669. The French-British rivalry for
control of the area led to the last of the French and Indian Wars
(1754-1763), in which the French were defeated. Ohio was part of the
vast area ceded to the United States by the Treaty of Paris in 1783
and became part of the Old Northwest by the Ordinance of 1787. It
became a separate territory in 1799. Columbus is the capital and
Cleveland the largest city. Population: 10,887,325.
