Introduction
Ohio became the United States seventeenth state on March 1, 1803. The state's largest city and capital is Columbus. Ohio, which means "good river" in Iroquois, is the birthplace of seven presidents: Ulysses Grant, Rutherford Hayes, James Garfield, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, William Taft, and Warren Harding. Ohio is home to many firsts: the first traffic light (1923), the first cash register (1878), and the first hot dog (1900). Two famous Ohioans have made their marks in space: Neil Armstrong was the first man to walk on the moon, and John Glenn is the oldest man to fly in outer space. The Buckeye State ranks 35th in land size, measuring 40,953 square miles.
