District of Ohio
The District of Ohio was a United [States federal judicial district|federal judicial district] of the United States created by the Judiciary [Act of 1801] which consisted of the Northwest and Indiana territories. It marks an early use of the term Ohio for an area of land as opposed to the long-named Ohio River before the establishment of a state of that name, but otherwise was of little long-term consequence, as the Judiciary Act of 1801 was repealed the next year.
