3. Eight Presidents considered Ohio their home state. Seven of them were born there, four died in office, two were assassinated.

4. Columbus, the capital, is near the geographic center of the (kind of) heart-shaped state.

5. Although the state takes its name from the Ohio River, very little of the river is within the state's borders.
