Ohio State Seal

Since its creation in 1803, the Great Seal of the State of Ohio has gone through many changes.  The current seal was officially standardized in 1967.  In the foreground, a sheaf of wheat represents Ohio's agricultural strength.  A bundle of 17 arrows and 17 rays around the sun symbolize that Ohio was the seventeenth state admitted into the Union.  Mount Logan and the rising sun signify that Ohio was the first state west of the Allegheny Mountains.
