Cool Fact About Ohio

One cool fact about Ohio is that Ohio’s flag is the only state flag that is shaped like a pennant instead of a rectangle. It was adopted in 1902. The design was the swallowtail and was designed by John Eisemann. The blue triangle represents Ohio’s hills and valleys, and the stripes represent the roads and waterways. The white circle with the red center stands for the “O” in Ohio and it is supposed to remind everyone that Ohio is famous for buckeyes. The thirteen stars that surround the circle on the flag represent the original states of the union. Four more stars were added to the point of the triangle to represent that Ohio was the seventeenth state admitted to the union.
