Ohio's population grew in 1820 primarily due to westward expansion and the promise of land for farming and settlement. The completion of transportation routes, such as canals and roads, made it easier for settlers to move into the region. Additionally, Ohio's status as a part of the Northwest Territory attracted families seeking new opportunities and economic prospects. This influx was fueled by the overall movement of people during the early 19th century, as many sought to capitalize on the fertile land available in the Midwest.
