Ohio, formed in 1803, has several other nicknames.

Among those that are widely heard are "The Mother
of Presidents" and "The birthplace of aviation." Ohio
has the official nickname "horse chestnut state." The
purest lakes, pastoral landscapes, and nature
reserves attract connoisseurs of ecotourism.
В In 1800, there were just over 45,000
residents in Ohio. The population then
grew at a rate of over 10% per decade,
and at the time of the 1970 census, just
over 10,650,000 people were
registered. Over the next three
decades, growth slowed, and in 2000,
the population in Ohio was about
11,350,000. As of July 1, 2011, it was
estimated at 11,544,951 (according to
the U.S. Census Bureau). In terms of
population growth, Ohio lags behind
the rest of the states.
