OHIO was admitted to Statehood on March 1, 1803. Ohio's State Flag was adopted in 1902. The Ohio Burgee, as the swallowtail design is properly called,
was designed by John Eisemann. The large blue triangle represents Ohio's hills and valleys, and the stripes represent
the original states of the union; the 4 stars added to the peak of the triangle symbolize that Ohio was the 17th
state admitted to the union. The white circle with its red center not only represents the "O" in Ohio,
but also suggests Ohio's famous nickname, "The Buckeye State". Eight U.S. presidents hailed from Ohio at the time of their elections,
earning the state the nickname of "Mother of Presidents". The seven presidents born in Ohio were Ulysses
S. Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James A. Garfield, Benjamin Harrison (grandson of William Henry Harrison), William
McKinley, William Howard Taft and Warren G. Harding The Capitol of Ohio is COLUMBUS
