Ohio is not part of the Northeast region; it is considered part of the Midwest.

Despite being physically in the northeastern region of the United States, Ohio is defined as being to the Midwest rather than the Northeast. States with maritime topography, major cities, and historical significance, such as Maine, Massachusetts, New York, and New Jersey, are part of the Northeast area. However, Ohio has a unique economic and cultural identity that is more in line with the Midwest. It is a significant state in the Midwest rather than the Northeastern U.S. since it is home to big cities like Cleveland and Columbus and has a history connected to manufacturing and agriculture.
