== Seal of Ohio ==
The Seal of Ohio is the official seal of the U.S. state of Ohio. The seal depicts a circular design with various elements that symbolize the state's geography, history, and industry.
Design[edit | edit source]
The current design of the Seal of Ohio was adopted in 1967. It features a sheaf of wheat and a bundle of seventeen arrows, representing Ohio's agricultural heritage and its status as the seventeenth state to join the United States. In the background, the Scioto River flows between cultivated fields and Mount Logan, symbolizing the state's natural resources and topography.
The seal also includes a rising sun, with thirteen rays representing the original thirteen colonies. The sun is positioned over the Chillicothe hills, which are significant to Ohio's history as the location of the state's first and third capitals.
History[edit | edit source]
The Seal of Ohio has undergone several changes since its inception. The first seal was adopted in 1803, the year Ohio was admitted to the Union. Over the years, the design has been modified to reflect changes in the state's identity and values.
In 1847, the seal was redesigned to include the Scioto River and Mount Logan. The current design, adopted in 1967, was created to provide a more standardized and recognizable symbol for the state.
Usage[edit | edit source]
The Seal of Ohio is used on official documents, government buildings, and state flags. It is also featured on the Great Seal of the State of Ohio, which is used by the Governor of Ohio and other state officials for authentication purposes.
The seal is an important symbol of Ohio's heritage and is often used in educational materials to teach students about the state's history and geography.
Variations[edit | edit source]
There are several variations of the Seal of Ohio, including the Great Seal of the State of Ohio and the Seal of the Governor of Ohio. These variations are used for different official purposes and may include additional elements or inscriptions.
