Which city was also the first capital of Ohio?

Chillicothe holds the distinction of being the first capital of Ohio. Following the statehood of Ohio in 1803, Chillicothe served as the capital until 1810. Its selection as the initial capital was due to its geographical location and the importance of the city at that time in the state's early development. Although Columbus later became the capital and is now known for being the state capital, the designation of Chillicothe as the original capital is an important aspect of Ohio's history. This early governance era in Chillicothe played a crucial role in shaping the state's political landscape.
