First, a little history…
The discovery of the Ice Age, ground sloth bones marked by human tools in Ohio, has made historians believe that people have lived in the region for more than 12,000 years. The first Europeans to arrive in Ohio were French explorers who claimed the area in the late 17th century. In 1763, after winning the Indian and French War, the British took over the land until the Revolutionary War occurred. Then, in 1803, Ohio became the 17th state in the U.S.A to join the union.
