Ohio

Ohio is one of the smallest states west of the Appalachian Mountains, ranking 34th in total area among the 50 states. However, in terms of population, the state ranks near the top. In many ways, Ohio has come to represent the urbanized, industrialized, and ethnically diverse United States that arose from an earlier agrarian period. Furthermore, the state is located in the heart of the country’s old industrial belt, close to major raw material and labor resources as well as markets in the East, Midwest, and South.
