Ohio is important, like, the French and Indian war was over Ohio and caused the taxes that led to the revolution. But also Columbus is like new york if your business can't justify new york. Cleveland is a major port city of the great lakes and used to be an industrial powerhouse. Cincinnati is a major stop on the primary tributary of the Mississippi while also being pretty far east and on great soil, it also used to be a major industrial powerhouse. Then airplanes were invented in Dayton. It's also unique among states in that its three biggest metro areas are of relatively similar size and have been for a while (though it's unlikely to last)
So yeah it's still a pretty large state by population, but it's mostly well known for times gone by. The rust is deep in the rust belt and while the cites are trying to make things better, a lot of the smaller cities and rural areas have flocked to a spray tanned huckster as their Messiah hoping that he will do what only forward thinking can. Cleveland is doing it's best though.
