The first state west of the Alleghenies, Ohio included in its first seal the sun rising behind the mountains, a sheaf of wheat, and a bundle of 17 arrows. In 1886, the legislature adopted a new seal and coat of arms to portray the advances in agriculture and industrial output stimulated by the Civil War. A farmer and a blacksmith thus stand with the tools of their trade in the foreground, but the design elements were repealed two years later.
