The recorded history of <a href="/wiki/Ohio" title="Ohio">Ohio</a> began in the late 17th century when <a href="/wiki/French_people" title="French people">French</a> explorers from <a href="/wiki/Canada" title="Canada">Canada</a> reached the <a href="/wiki/Ohio_River" title="Ohio River">Ohio River</a>, from which the "<a href="/wiki/Ohio_Country" title="Ohio Country">Ohio Country</a>" took its name, a river the <a href="/wiki/Iroquois" title="Iroquois">Iroquois</a> called <i>O-y-o</i>, "great river". Before that, <a href="/wiki/Native_Americans_in_the_United_States" title="Native Americans in the United States">Native Americans</a> speaking <a href="/wiki/Algonquin_language" title="Algonquin language">Algonquin languages</a> had inhabited Ohio and the central <a href="/wiki/Midwestern_United_States" title="Midwestern United States">midwestern United States</a> for hundreds of years, until displaced by the Iroquois in the latter part of the 17th century. Other cultures not generally identified as "<a href="/wiki/Native_American_peoples" class="mw-redirect" title="Native American peoples">Indians</a>", including the <a href="/wiki/Hopewell_tradition" title="Hopewell tradition">Hopewell</a> "mound builders", preceded them. Human history in Ohio began a few millennia after formation of the <a href="/wiki/Bering_land_bridge" class="mw-redirect" title="Bering land bridge">Bering land bridge</a> about 14,500 BCE – see <a href="/wiki/Prehistory_of_Ohio" title="Prehistory of Ohio">Prehistory of Ohio</a>. </p><p>By the mid-18th century, a few American and French fur traders engaged historic <a href="/wiki/Indigenous_peoples_of_the_Americas" title="Indigenous peoples of the Americas">Native American</a> tribes in present-day Ohio in the <a href="/wiki/Fur_trade" title="Fur trade">fur trade</a>. The Native Americans had their own extensive trading networks across the continent before the Europeans arrived. American settlement in the <a href="/wiki/Ohio_Country" title="Ohio Country">Ohio Country</a> came after the <a href="/wiki/American_Revolutionary_War" title="American Revolutionary War">American Revolutionary War</a> and the formation of the United States, with its takeover of <a href="/wiki/Province_of_Quebec_(1763%E2%80%931791)" title="Province of Quebec (1763–1791)">former British Canadian territory</a>. Congress prohibited <a href="/wiki/Slavery" title="Slavery">slavery</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Northwest_Territory" title="Northwest Territory">Northwest Territory</a> which presaged Ohio and the five states of the Territory entering the Union as <i>free</i> states. Ohio's population increased rapidly after United States victory in the <a href="/wiki/Northwest_Indian_Wars" class="mw-redirect" title="Northwest Indian Wars">Northwest Indian Wars</a> brought peace to the Ohio frontier. On March 1, 1803, Ohio was admitted to the union as the 17th state. </p><p>Settlement of Ohio was chiefly by migrants from <a href="/wiki/New_England" title="New England">New England</a>, <a href="/wiki/New_York_(state)" title="New York (state)">New York</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pennsylvania" title="Pennsylvania">Pennsylvania</a>. <a href="/wiki/Southern_United_States" title="Southern United States">Southerners</a> settled along the southern part of the territory, arriving by travel along the Ohio River from the <a href="/wiki/Upland_South" title="Upland South">Upper South</a>. Yankees, especially in the "<a href="/wiki/Western_reserve" class="mw-redirect" title="Western reserve">Western reserve</a>" (near Cleveland), supported modernization, <a href="/wiki/Public_education" class="mw-redirect" title="Public education">public education</a>, and anti-slavery policies. The state supported the <a href="/wiki/Union_(American_Civil_War)" title="Union (American Civil War)">Union</a> in the <a href="/wiki/American_Civil_War" title="American Civil War">American Civil War</a>, although antiwar <a href="/wiki/Copperheads_(politics)" class="mw-redirect" title="Copperheads (politics)">Copperhead</a> sentiment was strong in southern settlement areas. </p><p>After the Civil War, Ohio developed as a major industrial state. Ships traveled the <a href="/wiki/Great_Lakes" title="Great Lakes">Great Lakes</a> to deliver iron ore and other products from western areas. This was also a route for exports, as were the railroads. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the fast-growing industries created jobs that employed hundreds of thousands of immigrants from <a href="/wiki/Europe" title="Europe">Europe</a>. During <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a>, Europe was closed off to passenger traffic. In the first half of the 20th century, a new wave of migrants came from the South, with <a href="/wiki/Rural_area" title="Rural area">rural</a> whites from <a href="/wiki/Appalachia" title="Appalachia">Appalachia</a>, and African Americans in the <a href="/wiki/Great_Migration_(African_American)" title="Great Migration (African American)">Great Migration</a> from the <a href="/wiki/Deep_South" title="Deep South">Deep South</a>, to escape <a href="/wiki/Jim_Crow" class="mw-redirect" title="Jim Crow">Jim Crow</a> laws, violence, and hopes for better opportunities. </p><p>The cultures of Ohio's major cities became much more diverse with the blend of traditions, cultures, foods, and music from new arrivals. Ohio's industries were integral to American industrial power in the 20th century. In the late 20th century, economic restructuring in <a href="/wiki/Steel" title="Steel">steel</a>, railroads, and other heavy manufacturing, cost the state many jobs as <a href="/wiki/Heavy_industry" title="Heavy industry">heavy industry</a> declined. The economy in the 21st century has gradually shifted to depend on service industries such as medicine and education. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Prehistoric_period">Prehistoric period</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=History_of_Ohio&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Prehistoric period"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1251242444">.mw-parser-output .ambox{border:1px solid #a2a9b1;border-left:10px solid #36c;background-color:#fbfbfb;box-sizing:border-box}.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+link+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+style+.ambox,.mw-parser-output .ambox+.mw-empty-elt+link+link+.ambox{margin-top:-1px}html body.mediawiki .mw-parser-output .ambox.mbox-small-left{margin:4px 1em 4px 0;overflow:hidden;width:238px;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:88%;line-height:1.25em}.mw-parser-output .ambox-speedy{border-left:10px solid #b32424;background-color:#fee7e6}.mw-parser-output .ambox-delete{border-left:10px solid #b32424}.mw-parser-output .ambox-content{border-left:10px solid #f28500}.mw-parser-output .ambox-style{border-left:10px solid #fc3}.mw-parser-output .ambox-move{border-left:10px solid #9932cc}.mw-parser-output .ambox-protection{border-left:10px solid #a2a9b1}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-text{border:none;padding:0.25em 0.5em;width:100%}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image{border:none;padding:2px 0 2px 0.5em;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-imageright{border:none;padding:2px 0.5em 2px 0;text-align:center}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-empty-cell{border:none;padding:0;width:1px}.mw-parser-output .ambox .mbox-image-div{width:52px}@media(min-width:720px){.mw-parser-output .ambox{margin:0 10%}}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .ambox{display:none!important}}</style><table class="box-More_citations_needed_section plainlinks metadata ambox ambox-content ambox-Refimprove" role="presentation"><tbody><tr><td class="mbox-image"><div class="mbox-image-div"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Question_book-new.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img alt="" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/50px-Question_book-new.svg.png" decoding="async" width="50" height="39" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/75px-Question_book-new.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/99/Question_book-new.svg/100px-Question_book-new.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="512" data-file-height="399" /></a></span></div></td><td class="mbox-text"><div class="mbox-text-span">This section <b>needs additional citations for <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Verifiability" title="Wikipedia:Verifiability">verification</a></b>.<span class="hide-when-compact"> Please help <a href="/wiki/Special:EditPage/History_of_Ohio" title="Special:EditPage/History of Ohio">improve this article</a> by <a href="/wiki/Help:Referencing_for_beginners" title="Help:Referencing for beginners">adding citations to reliable sources</a> in this section.

Virtually all Native people's in the threatened territories joined forces and fought back. In Ohio, the Miami, Wyandot, Shawnee, Lenape, Seneca, Ottawa, Wabash, Illinois, Hochunk, Sauk and Fox nations joined under a Miami warrior who had been asked to fight as their War Chief, Little Turtle.

Oddly, though, most of the Natives stayed put, despite a handful of eviction attempts by the US military, leading to many communities establishing their own local boundaries between white and Native land, and later the formation of a few reservations in the western part of the state for the Shawnee, Lenape, Ottawa and Wyandot. The Lenape were pretty much all experimentally removed to Missouri around 1809, but when this went poorly, the government deigned not to remove any others, for the time being, other than most of the Shawnee over the Shawnee War. This was later undone after the Trail of Tears, which led the government into a scramble to convince all the remaining Natives in Ohio to relocate west peacefully. The last known full blood Wyandot to live in Ohio was Bill Moose (1836–1937). He gave a list of 12 individuals/families who remained behind removal. Draper Manuscripts also show that a few Shawnee, Mingo (mainly Seneca-Cayuga), and Lenape remained behind to. Also Mohawk and Brotherton (Narragansett) families as well. </p><p>Starting in the early 19th century, after the acquisition of the Louisiana Purchase, Congress began investing heavily in trying to convince Natives in the East to relocate west of the Mississippi. The Lenape were a test, and were removed in 1809, but when they complained that the natives of that region were being aggressive towards them and there wasn't enough to hunt and forage, the project was scrapped for several more decades.<sup id="cite_ref-48" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-48"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>48<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/United_States_Congress" title="United States Congress">U.S. Congress</a> prohibited <a href="/wiki/Slavery" title="Slavery">slavery</a> in the territory.

Furthermore, women experienced a physical toll because they were expected to have babies, supervise the domestic chores, care for the sick, and take control of the garden crops and poultry.
