Yes, that’s right. I’ve skipped North Dakota. You’ll see why in a few weeks. This week’s block is beautiful Ohio. The name, Ohio, comes from the Iroquois word, Ohi-yo, meaning great river. Ohio as a US state was part of the Northwest Territory. Its nickname, The Buckeye State, comes from the many Buckeye Trees that once covered the Ohio’s hills and plains. These trees have nuts with markings that resemble the eyes of a deer.
