I've never been to Ohio before.
I've never been there either, but six presidents of the United States have had Ohio as their home state.
Oh really? That's cool!
Yep. The state got its name from the Ohio River.
So the river was named before the state?
Yeah, pretty surprising. The state was admitted into the Union as the 17th state in 1803.
Oh wow that's so long ago!
Ohio is also called the "Buckeye State" because of its buckeye trees, and Ohioans are sometimes called "Buckeyes."
