The timeline highlights episodes such as the fur trade, mapped wildlife ranges after the French and Indian War, Congress authorizing Zane’s Trace, and statehood-era population declines, including the reported loss of bison. Additional moments cover libraries funded by animal hides and laws responding to abundant species.","Ohio Wildlife History Timeline  \nOhio has a rich and varied history when it comes to its wildlife . Our state has seen wildlife species  \nand habitat come and go for more than 200 years . Changes in the landscape, increasing human population and advances in wildlife management knowledge and technology have created a timeline that is both sad and successful. Please join us in exploring Ohio’s Wildlife History.  \nEach tree represents 1 million acres of forest land  \n1748  \nThe Ohio Company buildsa trading post near Piqua to trade items made in England for furs. Beaver are in big demand.  \n1770  \nGeorge Washington mapped Ohio lands given to soldiers who fought in the French and Indian War. Wolves, mountain lions, black bears, bison, and elk were found across the state.  \n1796  \nZane’s Trace (another name for atrail) is authorized by Congress. This led to the building of a horse trail that ran from Wheeling to Zanesville, Lancaster and Maysville, Kentucky. Before this, travelers used rivers or followed footpaths.  \n1803  \nOhio becomes a state. Last bison in the state was reported killed in Lawrence County. Bison will be eliminated from every state east of the Mississippi River.  \n1804  \nSettlers who were eager for something to read started the Coonskin Library in Athens County. To raise money for books, they sold hides from bears, wolves and raccoons. $73.50 worth of furs purchased 51 books.  \n1807  \nSquirrels were so numerous that a law was passed requiring taxpayers to kill them and turn their scalps in to the county clerk.  \n1818  \nAthens County drops its bounty on wolves and mountain lions.  \nUntil then, their scalps could be turned in for money. The county paid $3 for young animals and $4 for adults. This is also the year of the Great Hinkley Hunt. Thousands of animals were killed around Hinkley, Ohio.  \n![image](ht","cbCainnvDL8pcEZv","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCainnvDL8pcEZv","pdf",2870740,4,1,58,"English","en",105,"# Ohio Wildlife History
