All answers are now given:

1835 was the Ohio-Michigan war.

Trailblazer Ebenezer Zane (as in Zane's Trace) is the namesake for Zanesville. Personally, I think they should have went with Ebenezerville....or maybe Homoville since Thump comes from those parts.

And Akron is from the Greek word for "High Place", which is also were acropolis gets its name.

Okay, I'm done with asking questions. Anyone else have Ohio Trivia questions for us?
