ne ohio has lesser known finnish history too, east of cleveland along lake erie. in fact, dr. amy a. kaukonen, born in lorain, but of finnish ancestry, was the first female mayor of ohio in fairport harbor.

another older quirk in ne ohio are serbians living west of akron-canton. their noted legacy in ohio is a unique style of fried chicken fast food restaurants around barberton that ohioians just call barberton style fried chicken:

and lastly are the summer mexican farming immigrants of nw ohio. the state has seasonal school in local schools and trailers for the kids around the farms while the adults are picking tomatos and soybeans. it has its own temporary/annual school district. of course, these days trump is mucking it all up:
