What Time Zone Is Ohio?

The name "Ohio" originated from the Iroquois word ohi-yo', meaning "great river." Originally partitioned from the Northwest Territory, the state was admitted to the Union as the 17th state (and the first under the Northwest Ordinance) on March 1, 1803. Although there are conflicting narratives regarding the origin of the nickname, Ohio is historically known as the "Buckeye State" (relating to the Ohio buckeye tree), and Ohioans are also known as "Buckeyes." The government of Ohio is composed of three branches: executive, legislative, and judicial.

The capital of Ohio is Columbus. The current governor is John Kasich, a Republican. Ohio occupies 16 seats in the United States House of Representatives. It is known for its status as both a swing state and a bellwether in national elections. Owing largely to its strategic electoral importance, six Presidents of the United States have called Ohio their home state.
