Charter in Ohio Valley. Statehood date retroactive due to 150 year screwup. August 7, 1953, the Ohio legislature corrected the fact that they had never legalized statehood. President Thomas Jefferson signed bill admitting Ohio on February 19, 1803, but the first legislature did not meet until March 1, 1803, yet overlooked passing legislation for statehood. Thanks to Jim Grover for pointing this out on June 1, 2022. |
