Although the Ohio State University sports teams didn’t officially adopt their moniker until 1950, they were known unofficially as The Buckeyes since at least 1919. People referred to Ohioans as “buckeyes” years before that, as the name’s relationship with locals goes all the way back to 1788, years before Ohio even became a state.

They are well dressed, look happy, and some of them seem to be really in love. These are young people who went off with a camera, clowned around, and captured their happiness in a snapshot.”
