Ohio is located in northeastern part of the United States. The capital – large and developed city is Columbus, which in 2013 year was recognized as the “smart” city in the world. And this is not the only interesting fact about this state.
Ohio city which is known worldwide as a major industrial, educational and entertainment places, can tell you about myself many interesting things. Take, for example, Zanesville. In this city there is a bridge, one of a kind. It is notable for its structure – in form it resembles the letter “Y”. This bridge is like three ends and way. In the state are the roller coaster, the second in the world speed and altitude.
And in Sandusky to ride the rides, the height of which reaches as much as 128 meters! If you want to admire the beauty of nature, then be sure to visit the valley of the Cuyahoga. Its area is about 33,000 acres, and is one of the most picturesque places in all of America (with a rich fauna). No wonder they come here almost all the tourists. You can still visit Brandywine falls – an amazing place, surrounded by pine trees. And in the gorge of Tinkers Creek, you can enjoy the mysterious scenery.
No Wonder this state has so many beautiful places of untouched nature. In fact, a large part of its territory presents endless plains. Ohio still called the state of horse chestnut – all because there are these trees grow almost everywhere. But in the Western part you can see a lot of wetlands. But in the East-the Appalachian plateau, not very high (only 460 meters) but beautiful.

Upstate is located lake Erie. It's got some interesting facts. For example, it is the tenth in area freshwater lake in the world. Besides the warmest of all the Great lakes – because it is not very deep. Even Erie is the border between Canada and the United States – because of this, often arise disputes regarding the payment for negotiations by mobile phones. Just happens that operators consider certain international calls. Erie – is not the only reservoir, which boasts Ohio (USA). Yet there is the homonymous river, it is located in the South. Ohio is the most full-flowing tributary of the Mississippi.
As already mentioned, the main city of the state is Columbus. Its history began in 1812 – that's when it was founded. By the way, from the beginning thought that the city, which will be built on the same spot, will become the capital of the state. And so it happened. Today, Columbus is excellently developed metropolis – economic, commercial, logistics, industrial and educational points of view. Not surprising, since here engaged in trade, banking, healthcare, aviation, defence and food sectors. All this gave a certain result, for example, in 2009 the city's GDP exceeded $ 90 billion!
The same place in Columbus is located the largest the Ohio state University, the abbreviated name of OSU. Moreover, this school is the third largest in all of America. This is a school with quite a long history since it was founded in 1870. But initially it was a simple College. Who would have thought that an ordinary agricultural College, located on the outskirts of the city, turn into a popular school. And if initially it studied only 24 students, today the University has about 42 100 undergraduate and approximately 11 thousand doctors and masters.
The University can get an education in the fields of journalism, medicine, law, veterinary medicine, trade and agricultural area. However, this is not the only University, which give a good basis for further professional activities. There are about 150 educational institutions in the state. And education can be obtained in almost any field – starting in journalism and ending with engineering.
Ohio is home to about 12 million people, and the state has dozens of cities. The largest are (besides the capital), Cleveland, Cincinnati and Toledo. New Lexington, Warren, Findlay, Parma, Canton, Dayton – all these names of cities on hearing almost everyone. But there is in the state and a little town, one of the smallest is Oberlin – the population is only about 9 thousand people. Nice little town, destined for a quiet life, is the complete opposite of, say, Mansfield or Cambridge.
In each city or state has its own characteristics and interesting facts, which will always be useful to know. For example, few people know that tomato juice – this is the official drink of Ohio. Or, forexample, that the law supposedly forbids to live under the same roof of the six women (or more). Five – is still allowed. There is even a law banning duels, although unlikely in our time they are held. But before selling chickens may not be painted in any color.
And finally, another funny law – do not install slot machines in these unconventional places like a barn or a shed. For information, we will add that Oh – state, which is different from Moscow for 8 hours. That is, when in the Russian capital people come home from work in Cleveland only Wake up to go to the office.
