Ohio is a state in the United States. Historically (but not universally) considered a part of the Midwest, Ohio is a multi-regional, cultural and geographical crossroads, with elements of the Midwest, Northeast, Appalachia and the South. "This slice of the mid-west contains a bit of everything American—part north-eastern and part southern, part urban and part rural, part hardscrabble poverty and part booming suburb," notes The Economist. [1] Prior to 1984, the United States Census Bureau considered Ohio part of the North Central Region.[2] That region concept was renamed "Midwest" and split into two divisions. Ohio is now in the East North Central States division.[3]

Ohio was the first and eastern-most state admitted to the Union under the Northwest Ordinance. Its U.S. postal abbreviation is OH; its old-style abbreviation is O. Ohio is an Iroquois word meaning "good river." The name refers to the Ohio River that forms its southern border.

The U.S. Navy has named several ships USS Ohio in honor of this state.

In general, a fanlisting is just a place for fans of a certain thing, such as a TV show, a band or in this case, a place, to come together to share their love. For more fanlistings, please visit TheFanlistings.org.

I created this fanlisting for Ohio because I love the state. I've lived here all my life and I wouldn't really want to live anywhere else. The name The Heart of It All was chosen because it is a slogan for the state. As for the layout, I used a random pic of the state I found online. Links to brushes and patterns used can be found here.
