Ohio is one of the 50 states of the United States, located in the Great Lakes Region and one of its main industries. Located in the Midwest of United States, the most industrialized region of the country, Ohio has the industry as their main source of income. Other sources of revenue are the finances, the mining of coal, which helped make Ohio leading industrial powers, the country's agriculture and tourism. The rapid industrialization of the state made several native people of the state noted for its inventions and its pioneers. Thomas Edison was born in Ohio and the Wright Brothers-known worldwide for being the first to fly in an airplane (not without disputes) - also grew up here.

Ohio, the Buckeye State established in 1803, is the 17th State of America. Glaciers covered much of Ohio thousands of years ago. These powerful glaciers flattened out the terrain and left behind rich soil. The rich soil makes Ohio part of the fertile area of farmland known as the Corn Belt. Because glaciers did not reach parts of eastern Ohio, a beautiful region of hills and steep valleys remains. This is known as the Allegheny Plateau, and forests cover most of this area today. Ohio’s total area is 44,828 square miles (116,104 sq km), making it the 34th largest state.
