Due to its
geographically central location, the state of Ohio, for its size, has
more interstate freeways, and more interstate traffic per mile, than
any other state. Consequently, the very strict Ohio State Highway
Patrol generates the highest number of speeding tickets per mile. Ask
any trucker.
Ohio is the only state to win the Miss America
Pageant two years in a row by the same contestant - Mary Campbell,
from Columbus, in 1922 and 1923. She also was first-runner-up in
1924. After that, the Miss America Pageant changed their rules so
that any contestant could only compete once in the pageant at the
national level.
Ohio was carved from the Northwest and Indiana
Territory.
The State of Indiana came into existence in 1816.
There are 88 counties in Ohio (2003)
Ohio is the home of both John Glenn, the first astronaut to orbit the earth, and Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon.
