February 19th 1803, Thomas Jefferson signed an Act of Congress that approved Ohio's boundaries and constitution, but due to an oversight, Congress never passed a resolution formally admitting Ohio as the 17th state in the Union.
When this oversight was discovered in 1953 a Bill of Congress was introduced to admit Ohio to the Union retroactive to March 1st 1803.
On August 7th 1953 President Eisenhower signed an Act that officially declared March 1st 1803 the date of Ohio's admittance to the Union.
